About the book

Pocket Guide: Insects of South Africa covers both common and interesting insects from South Africa, making it possible to identify a wide range of local species. Some 260 insects are featured, many of which we may have spotted in our houses and gardens. Each is described with its key identification features, a colour photograph and distribution map. An illustrated quick-reference guide on the inside front and back covers makes it quick and easy to navigate to the right insect group.
