Entomology Textbooks

Entomology is the study of insects and related arthopods. Arthropod means "jointed foot" or "jointed leg". Spiders, ticks and mites, scorpions and a raft of other joint-legged creatures constitute the arthropods. Insects are by far the most numerous and diverse arthropods on earth.

The most widely used reference book for the study of insects is An Introduction to the Study of Insects. It can be found on the bookshelf of practically every professional entomologist trained in the last 40 years. If you can afford only one reference book this is the one.
