Illustrated Inventory of Insects

"Illustrated Inventory of Insects" brings together 65 species of insects from Europe and the rest of the world: Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera, Isoptera... Arthropods alone already represent more than 80% of the planet's animals. Scientists, who have cataloged a million types of insects, estimate that the true figure is between five and ten million species. Above all, they are very useful creatures, since they collaborate in the pollination of flowers and are the sustenance of other animals. The illustrations in this book are scientific in style, rendered with the precision of naturalists in the field notebooks of yesteryear: outlines made with felt-tip pen and Chinese ink, and watercolors that favor the play of colors and transparencies.
