Description

This practical, non-technical introduction to insect classification offers a well-illustrated, straight-forward primer in entomology. Whether you are a part of a master naturalist program, are interested in environmentally friendly pest management, or simply enjoy knowing what to call that ordinary-having a look bug on your back porch, Insects of Texas will be your first resource for insect classification and identification.
 
This book will mean you can sort out a few of the millions of insect species by learning the readily distinguishable field characteristics needed to identify groups most recurrently seen in Texas. David H. Kattes provides short tutorials on morphology and metamorphosis and uses a simple color-coding scheme to present the five classes of arthropods and the orders, suborders, and families of insects most relevant to Texas observers. Photo keys, pronunciation guides, illustrated tables, abundant photographs, and highlighted accounts of physical and biological characteristics lend a hand introduce readers to the more than a few tiny creatures that inhabit our world, steering them through arachnids, crustaceans, millipedes, centipedes, and hexapods. Within each and every account, Kattes comments on habits and other interesting information, reflecting his long experience in teaching and speaking to various receptive audiences.
