INSECTS AND THEIR WORLD 



Few people who have not studied insects have 

 any idea how tremendously varied they are. 

 Harold Oldroyd opens his readers' eyes to 

 much of this infinite variety. He describes 

 the Orders into which insects are grouped 

 and illustrates the technical terms that have 

 to be used in studying insects„ For the rest, 

 he is concerned with how insects live and what 

 is known of their actions, in relation to their 

 own world and to ours. He asks the reader to 

 try to imagine how much or how little 

 of the outside world it would be possible to 

 grasp with an insect's eyes, an insect's brain, 

 and an insect's powers of movement. 



Harold Oldroyd is with the Department 

 of Entomology, The British Museum 

 {Natural History).
