520    Publisher's description: The Encyclopedia of Insects is a 
       comprehensive work devoted to all aspects of insects, 
       including their anatomy, physiology, evolution, behavior, 
       reproduction, ecology, and disease, as well as issues of 
       exploitation, conservation, and management. Articles 
       provide definitive facts about all insects from aphids, 
       beetles and butterflies to weevils and yellowjackets. 
       Insects are beautiful and dreadful, ravenous pests and 
       devastating disease vectors, resilient and resistant to 
       eradication, and the source of great benefit and great 
       loss for civilization. Important for ecosystem health, 
       they have influenced the evolution of other life forms on 
       our planet including humans. Anyone interested in insects,
       from university professors and researchers to high school 
       students preparing a report, will find The Encyclopedia of
       Insects an indispensable volume for insect information.
