Dr. James L. Castner, entomologist and professional photographer, has combined his teaching experience in entomology laboratories with his photographic skills to create the Photographic Atlas Of Entomology And Guide To Insect Identification. It is the first thorough, photo-oriented entomological guide of its kind.
Over 600 color photos have been used to illustrate the structural characters and anatomical features of the major insect families and arthropod groups discussed in entomology courses. In addition to photographic coverage of approximately 190 arthropod taxa (including 30 insect and 8 arachnid orders), explanations and illustrations of external anatomy and insect development are also provided. Dichotomous keys to the family level are included for the major orders, as well as a glossary of specialized terms.
