beginner's guide to unlocking the weird and wonderful world of
creepy crawlies. Australia is renowned for its wacky contributions
to the insect world, and with this easy-to-read field guide you'll

grubs, this book will share how to find and identify 100 of
Australia's key native species. All the information you need is

for many of these species. 100 Australian Butterflies, Bees,
Beetles & Bugs is for anyone wanting a comprehensive yet
accessible (and entertaining) guide to anything that flies, crawls,
writhes and wriggles. Thanks to Jamil Tye for reviewing First
Nations content for this publication.
100 Australian Birds is a beginner's guide to the world of
birdwatching. From the outside, this strange hobby of birdwatching
appears to consist of sizeable camera lenses, khaki pants that are
pulled up too high, and gruelling treks in pursuit of rare bird
species. But for those who haven't been scared off by jumbo field
guides and excessive terminology, this book is for you. Carefully
tailored to guide birdwatchers anywhere in Australia, this book
reveals insights into one hundred key native species with lush
illustrations and accessible descriptions. As well as the author's
original illustrations, there are distribution maps, identification
methods, behavioral information and contributions from First
Nations people on Taungurung, Gumbaynggirr and Wiradjuri names for
particular birds. 100 Australian Birds is for anyone interested in
birds, culture, history or our environment, but without the
geekspeak. Foreword by Australia's leading scientist Professor Tim
Flannery.
