Today in Australia there are over 100,000 species crawling, flying, hopping and hurrying across the continent. Their responses to the challenges of this vast and often inhospitable land have been an array of clever adaptations. Every major insect group has found a way to live here successfully and some of the world's oldest lineages of insects continue to survive in Australia despite their extinction elsewhere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Australian Insects There have been so many enquiries from people in all parts of Australia, as well as from visitors from other countries, for a book dealing with our insects, that the writer thinks that the time has come when a Text Book dealing exclusively with Australian Entomology will be well received, both at home and abroad, by all those interested in this subject. The difficulty has been to write in a popular style so as to interest the general reader, and induce him to further follow his studies of the wonders of Natural History, yet at the same time to define the characteristics 'of the insects described and give some idea of their classification, so that it will not lose its value as a Text Book to the student while enlarging the circle of its readers.

It includes photographs of all species, notes on their ecology and biology as well as identification keys suitable for novices or professionals.
