About the Book

The definitive photographic guide to Britain and Western Europe's orthopterans, complete with a CD of sounds.

This beautifully presented field guide, containing more than 1200 illustrations, covers the 261 grasshoppers (and their allies) of Britain and Western Europe. All of the main species and sub-species are included, and they are accompanied by photographs of both male and female, distribution maps, statuses, habitat descriptions, advice on when to find them, and tips to avoid confusion during the process of identification.

Comprehensive general chapters also cover morphology, ecology and habitat, and assist with research in the field. Set out in a clear and accessible format, the layout allows for easy identification.

Together with 155 oscillograms and a CD of 222 sounds, this book is set to be the definitive guide to the orthoptera of Britain and Western Europe.


About the Author:

Éric Sardet is an entomologist who has specialised in orthoptera since the late 1990s. He works as an independent biologist with INSECTA, and is the author or co-author of a number of publications, including the red list of French orthoptera (published in collaboration with Bernard Defaut in 2004), and a departmental atlas of French orthoptera published in collaboration with Bernard Defaut and Yoan Braud in 2009 by l'Union de Entomologie Française.

Christian Roesti has been interested in the orthoptera of Europe since the age of 6. He is the co-author of Sauterelles, Grillons et Criquets de Suisse and Die Stimmen der Heuschrecken, and co-creator of the smartphone app Orthoptera-App. He organises wildlife holidays, specialising in insects, and is equally enthusiastic about insect photography and scientific drawing. During summer, he works as a guard in a Swiss Alps nature reserve.

Yoan Braud is an entomologist with a particular interest in the orthoptera of the Alps, Corsica and the Mediterranean region. He was the co-ordinator of the departmental atlas on French orthoptera (Defaut et al. 2009), and he's currently working on the UICN red list for European orthoptera. Since 2014, he has been president of l'ASCETE (Association pour la Caractérisation de l'Étude des Entomocénoses). He works as an independent ecological entomologist with ENTOMIA.
