Grasshoppers, katydids, mantids, crickets, cockroaches and stick insects - often referred to collectively as the orthopteroids - form a part of the insect kindgom that deserves to be much better known. Although naturalists may be familiar with a limited range of their own local species, many are unaware that some of the most spectacularly coloured insects of the world belong to the very same family.
In Grasshoppers and Mantids of the World - there is sound, basic information on physiology, classification and life cycle - with the main emphasis of text is upon behaviour. A book like this is long overdue, communicating in words and a wealth of pictures some of the beauty and fascination of these insects.
