Review:

‘It is impossible to imagine a better introduction to the life of insects for the intelligent reader.’ John O’ London’s Weekly

‘Here is a wealth of information on almost every aspect of insect life, seasoned with the little oddities that add spice to any book. For anyone who wants to know about British insects, and who is afraid of the technicalities of the subject, or who shies at the usual dry presentation of it, this book is a complete answer to a prayer. It cannot be too highly praised, and the publishers are to be congratulated on a very fine production.’ Scottish Field

‘This volume of the New Naturalists series is one which will be particularly welcome. The book is packed with interesting and astonishing facts. It is a book to possess, to read, and to come back to.’ Listener

‘Dr. Imms is in the best line of “popular” entomologists. From encyclopaedic knowledge he writes what is in no sense an encyclopaedia but an introduction to the study of British insects. The illustrations are first-class.’ Birmingham Post

‘Insect Natural History keeps up the high level of the New Naturalist series. It is a fascinating book and the colour photographs are a joy.’ Guardian

‘Dr. Imms cloaks great knowledge and experience with simplicity. Altogether the book is a triumph.’ The Field

‘This series has an extraordinary knack of making the most amateurish amateur feel that there are observations of value that even he can make.’ Stephen Potter
