A wide-ranging 1895 entomology reference
First published in 1895, John Henry Comstock’s manual organizes insect study across structure, classification, life cycles, internal anatomy, behavior, and ecology. Its scope moves from general insect characteristics to systems such as digestion, reproduction, and the nervous system, then addresses communication, social organization, defense, habitats, food sources, and relationships with other organisms. Detailed species entries extend the volume into identification, distribution, and observed behavior. This paperback is a facsimile of the historical original, so it may retain library marks or other imperfections from the source copy. The book’s value lies in its broad, period-specific presentation of entomology and its substantial reference-book format.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Students and enthusiasts seeking a historical overview of insect study
- Researchers interested in nineteenth-century entomological reference works
- Natural history readers who want species identification and ecology alongside anatomy
