"A wonderful book" by Francois-Jean P. -
This book is fantastic and very complete. It divides southern Africa up into 9 biomes: coastal regions, caves, and urban environments. It proceeds to discuss the major insect life in each environment and biome, as well as how they interact with one another and humans. It's great value for money as it's printed on full colour, glossy pages.
