Part of the Te Papa Te Taiao Nature Series, this accessible introduction to a
range of the native insects encountered in New Zealand is written by two expert
entomologists from our national museum, Te Papa.
It features fifty species, from moths and dragonflies to weta and beetles and also
offers insights into the museum's fieldwork and collections.
The book is charmingly illustrated with scientific drawings by Des Helmore
(Fauna of New Zealand series) and reproductions of the entomological paintings
of George Vernon Hudson (An Exquisite Legacy). It's the perfect companion for
the outdoors and for browsing at home or on holiday.
