classification with a confidence in God's hand behind the scenes.
This is an older
book but most information is still useable, good for people with a developing
interest in insects. It contains classical literature works from over two
thousand years. Most of these titles have been out of print and off the

cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical literature.
The aim of this lecture
note is to give a general insight to the biology of arthropods, their habits and
habitats before embarking on a detailed study of insect vectors.
