There are over 1 million species of insetcs and over 100,000 species of arachnids present today, with many more being identified daily. Given such a magnitude, to try and identify every individual specimen is not possible. Instead, an easier approach I to familiarise oneself with the common characteristics and key identification for different families. This book aims to do so--by walking the reader through the different orders, using beautiful photographs of these amazing organisms--and will help identify most of them out in the field. Arachnids abound just as insects, and this book serves as two guides in one book. Though we have limited ourselves to insects and arachnids found in the southern states of India, most species are quite ubiquitous and are found through most parts of India. This guide, therefore, can be used quite easily anywhere in India.
