About this book

Language: French

Some insects are recognizable at glance or simply by comparison with a quality illustration. Unfortunately, these are exceptions, and the study of insects is often complicated by the need to use a loupe and mastering a specific vocabulary that hardly accessible to neophytes.

This identification key, mainly aimed at the teaching of entomology, allows you to name some 180 families or super-families of insects most commonly encountered in Europe. The vocabulary used is accessible to anyone with basic knowledge of the morphology of insects. A glossary and figures are used to fill gaps and to give meaning to the identification criteria encountered.

Recognising an insect at family level allows one to quickly obtain information on its biology and is an indispensable step towards a comprehensive knowledge of different species.

Summary in French:
Quelques insectes particuliers sont identifiables du premier coup d'oeil ou par comparaison avec des illustrations de qualité. Malheureusement, il s'agit là d'exceptions et l'étude des insectes est souvent rendue complexe par la nécessité d'utiliser une loupe binoculaire et de maîtriser un vocabulaire spécifique difficilement accessible aux néophytes.

Principalement destinée à l'enseignement de l'entomologie, la présente clé d'identification permet de donner un nom à quelque 180 familles ou super-familles d'insectes parmi les plus couramment rencontrées en Europe. Le vocabulaire utilisé est accessible à toute personne ayant des notions de base de la morphologie des insectes. Un glossaire et des figures permettent de combler certaines lacunes et de donner sens aux critères d'identification rencontrés.

Reconnaître un insecte au niveau de la famille permet d'obtenir rapidement des précisions sur sa biologie et constitue une étape indispensable vers une connaissance approfondie des différentes espèces.
