ISBN: 983812172X

Condition: New

Well illustrated, octavo, pp (6), 244, pictorial laminated boards, a very good new hardback copy in dustwrapper.

Although somewhat diverse and ubiquitous in terrestrial habitats, they are less commonly encountered than moths, butterflies and ants. This is mainly because more than 95% of beetles are less than a centimetre long and they are often not found in swarms as one species like ants. Many are only active at night.

[With more than 10% of the world's species found there, Borneo is arguably the best place to study stick insects.

During the next 100 years, almost 300 species more were recorded, making the island the richest territory for...
