Does anyone know any good books, that aren’t juvenile, about insects that I could buy?

harlequin_of _adamantine asked:


- preferably about the harlequin beetle or those types of moths that live in decaying tree trunks…it’s funny how the most easily overlooked things in nature are the most fascinating… ya but look at me naive and naked on a zoology blog having barely even grazed a biology book in my life.

P.S. what non-time consuming side-jobs require knowledge of insect biology or just biology preferably in the broad taxidermy way not the meticulous cellular way…I’m 16 and I don’t know where to start

    “The Hunting Wasp” by John Crompton. It is primarily about hunting wasps, of course, but touches on other arthropods as well. I got this book years ago and it is one of my favorite books, well written and exciting.
    I came to share his love and respect for hunting wasps, and his dislike of social wasps, although he admits the social wasps can be very courteous.
    There are many species of hunting wasps, and each species hunts one particular species of insect or other arthropod, to feed its children; adult hunting wasps don’t eat meat.
