Product Description
Arthropods are the most numerous and diverse group of animals and studying these organisms requires the use of specialized equipment and specific procedures. Thistext describes effective methods and equipment for collecting, identifying, rearing, examining, and preserving insects and mites, and for storing and caring for specimens in collections. It also provides instructions for the construction of many kinds of collecting equipment, traps, rearing cages, and storage units, as well as updated and illustrated keys for identification of the classes of arthropods and the orders of insects. Such information not only aids hobbyists and professionals in preparing insect collections, but it has become essential in documenting and standardizing collections of entomological evidence in forensic as well as pest management sciences. * Over 400 professionally drawn illustrations * Identification keys to find arthropod orders * Comprehensive reading list * Detailed glossary of terms

Carlos is way wrong here. This book contains insect as well as other arthropod information. It would be incorrect to title this as insects. The book is great. Full of much needed information. I give it a 'ten".

the title is erroneous must be "Insect Collection and ..." because the others arthropods only are mentioned occasionally. If you search information over collection, handling and identification of arachnids, myriapods and others, this is not your book
