Ithaca 2006, kt., 280 Seiten, 48 Farbtafeln mit über 300 Zeichnungen, Verbreitungskarten und Detailzeichnungen. Often heard, seldom seen, katydids and crickets and their calls epitomize summertime. Also familiar are grasshoppers, flashing their often colourful hind wings in sud-den flight. Yet most people know little about these abundant insects or how to identify them. This is first field guide to U.S. and Canadian orthoptera introduces 206 of the most common species (more than a third of the total), each with an excellent colour painting by Scott. It ex-plains classification, morphology (illustrated), biology, sound production, and collection and preservation, and presents pictorial keys to families and subfamilies. Species accounts include common name, scientific name, distribution, map, description, ecology, and similar species comparisons.
