This book on insects (book) is the fifth and last volume of the monumental 'Natural History of Crustaceans and Insects', the main work of the French entomologist Pierre Andre Latreille.

The author sets these species within the broader context of their habitats and their role in ecosystems. Latreille's book provides exhaustive analysis of families, species, and specimens and is written for the specialist and general reader alike.
