Australian Insects (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover

Excerpt from Australian Insects

There have been so many enquiries from people in all parts of Australia, as well as from visitors from other countries, for a book dealing with our insects, that the writer thinks that the time has come when a Text Book dealing exclusively with Australian Entomology will be well received, both at home and abroad, by all those interested in this subject.

The difficulty has been to write in a popular style so as to interest the general reader, and induce him to further follow his studies of the wonders of Natural History, yet at the same time to define the characteristics 'of the insects described and give some idea of their classification, so that it will not lose its value as a Text Book to the student while enlarging the circle of its readers.
