5.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully illustrated and well designed volume, 30 Dec 2000
This beautifully and well designed volume, with an attractive dust jacket, covers all Australian orthopteroid insects (grasshoppers and their allies). In addition to a very informative text by a world renowned expert, there are 425 colour and 150 black and white photographs, nearly all taken by the author in the field or in the laboratory. A range of good quality figures is also included. Part one (pages 1-45) contains several introductory sections: basic characteristics, conservation, "singing" orthopteroids, mating and courtship, collecting, rearing, and preserving the colourful Australian fauna. Part two (pages 46-208) covers the grasshoppers, katydids, and crickets. Part three (pages 209-257) covers the remaining orders: cockroaches, mantids, stick and leaf-insects. The text takes into account relevant recent research and includes useful notes on subjects such as classification, behaviour and distribution. Pages 258-284 include sections dealing with photography, special interest groups, references, and an index. What more can the orthopterist or budding orthopterist want than this highly accurate, colourful volume. David Rentz has included invaluable observations from his collecting trips across Australia. This book is attractively priced and is one of the best books ever produced on the Orthoptera.
