A ripper of a book!
It is stunning and so fastidious in its attention to detail - and the photos are superb. It is a significant achievement. What a massive work. I look forward to years of delving and referring.
A fabulous resource for anyone with an interest in the invertebrate biodiversity of the Adelaide Plains and a perfect Christmas gift for the little (and big) buggers in your life.
The photography is brilliant and the information is amazing. Many species have not been properly photographed before. With this book in your hand, the way you look at life in the bush, parklands and even your own garden, will be changed for ever!
Congratulations Marianne on this superb book! I really enjoyed the scientific approach, the lengthy research and of course, the gorgeous photos, especially the macro photography. Well done, it will become a reference book for many people.
