商品簡介
Illinois Insects and Spiders celebrates the state's insect and spider populations with twenty-eight color plates of beautiful renderings of numerous species by artist Peggy Macnamara, each depicted true to scale in relation to one another and accompanied by lively captions - written by Field Museum curators and collection managers - that identify the species and reveal their interesting behaviors and unique habitats. Illinois Insects and Spiders encourages readers to explore the biodiversity at their feet and in the air - in the shiny beetles on the ground and in the glint of lightning bugs in summer. More than a traditional field guide, Illinois Insects and Spiders marries art and entomology in a unique introduction to the science of natural history.
