INTRODUCTION
This book is a personal collection of 60 images of insects that have been taken around the Apokoronas area of north west Crete. The insects included in this book are a very small fraction of the very large and diverse range of insect species that live on Crete.
As other books describe the details of these different insect species far better and more accurately than I could, only general information has been added to some of the images. I hope you will look at the insects shown for what they are and think about their shape, size and colour. They are all well adapted to their environment and in the wider context of Mother Nature they are all beautiful creatures.
So what exactly are insects? They are a special sub-group of arthropod, where anthropods are small invertebrates having an external skeleton, segmented bodies with pairs of legs, wings, antennae and maybe some other appendages along their body.
Their segmented bodies have three well-defined sections: the head, the thorax, and the abdomen. There are always three pairs of legs attached to the centre thorax section. They may have no wings (as in ants after their reproductive phase), one pair of wings (mostly) or two pairs of wings (as in dragonflies and damselflies). The flight wings can either be exposed (as in flies and butterflies)
