"

A delightful little book that will appeal to anyone with an interest in the majority of life on Earth. It is packed with information that educates and entertains.

"---George McGavin, President of the Dorset Wildlife Trust
"[An] eclectic roundup of bug miscellany. . . . Eaton’s writing is crisp, informative, and at times humorous, and he does a great job of demonstrating insects’ important role on the planet, as they pollinate plants, control pests, and serve as a food source for fish and wildlife." * Publishers Weekly *
"Wonderful… lots of good information in here"---Adam Del Rosso, AccuWeather
"Insectpedia will appeal to all ages and is written for everyone interested in learning new things about our environment. . . . This book is perfect for piquing interest and encouraging further studies."---Ann Chilcott, Beekeeper’s Quarterly
"This engaging and delightful A-Z of the insect world, is packed full of fascinating, and often amusing facts. On the one hand, the format makes this great little book easy to dip in and out of; on the other, Eaton's wit and enthusiasm for his subject keeps you turning the pages."---Amanda Williams, Buzz About Bees
"A great pocket-sized book to pick up for moments of awe and wonder."---Stephen Fleming, Bee Craft
"A terrific little book."---Phil Slade, Another Bird Blog
"An engaging and interesting read for anyone who delights in the marvels of nature."---Frances McKim, Pest Magazine ​​​​​​​
"[If] you want a fun read, try this one."---Geoff Carpentier, North Durham Nature Newsletter

"Even the most learned supporters of entomology will find a place on their bookshelf or coffee table for this little gem of a book."---Jacintha Cloney, An Beachaire
"The author is very much an insect champion . . . His works really need to get out amongst the unconverted."---Paul Hetherington, Atropos Magazine
