 Far too generally Eurocentric to be of great use April 2, 2007

All too many times one reads 'except British Isles'. I would have thought that the handiest and cheapest guide to insects in English published for the British market would have concentrated a bit more on Britain, no matter how much Collins wanted to include a picture of a praying mantis. A book with this much scope needs to be larger, a book this small needs to be more specific.
 An excellent guide August 14, 2006

No butterflies or moths but there is a separate guide available to cover those groups. This seems a reasonable decision when publishing in a pocket-sized format as a combined guide would mean that only half the number of species could be covered.
The information in the guide is clear and concise with good quality photographs for every entry. There are also illustrations on many entries that clarify those anatomical differences important for identification of the species or sex.
A fascinating guide that's been invavluable for me in my new found hobby of macro insect photography.
