The first edition of Encyclopedia of Insects (2003) was acclaimed as the most comprehensive work devoted to insects. Covering all aspects of insect anatomy, physiology, evolution, behavior, reproduction, ecology, and disease, as well as issues of exploitation, conservation, and management, this book sets the standard in entomology.

The second edition of this reference will continue the tradition by providing the most comprehensive, useful, and up-to-date resource for professionals. The list of contributors remains a virtual Who's Who in entomology with the addition of some high profile and internationally recognized entomologists who were previously unavailable.

New to the 2nd Edition:
-Expanded sections include forensic entomology, biotechnology, community and ecosystem ecology, and Drosophila.
- Each of the 300 articles will be updated for consistency and to reflect the advances which have taken place in entomology research since the previous edition.
- Advances in research include environmental effects of insect activity, insects in drug development, and evolutionary findings.
