Description
Part of the Te Papa Te Taiao Nature Series, this accessible introduction to a range of the native insects encountered in Aotearoa New Zealand is written by two expert entomologists from our national museum, Te Papa.
Native Insects of Aotearoa features fifty species, from moths and dragonflies to weta and beetles, and offers insights into the museum's fieldwork and collections.
The book is charmingly illustrated with scientific drawings by Des Helmore, known for the Fauna of New Zealand series, and reproductions of the entomological paintings by George Vernon Hudson, celebrated for An Exquisite Legacy.
Each book in this lightweight, hardback series—designed by award-winning designer Tim Denee—has a crisp look and feel, ideal for pocketing for tramps, or for using at home.
