100 Australian Butterflies, Bees, Beetles & Bugs is your beginner's guide to unlocking the weird and wonderful world of creepy crawlies. Australia is renowned for its wacky contributions to the insect world, and with this easy-to-read field guide you'll be ready to explore your own backyard and beyond to the fullest.

All the information you need is paired with distribution maps and Georgia's annotated and intricately hand-drawn illustrations. Contributions from Gumbaynggirr, Yugambeh, Alyawarr and Warlpiri Peoples provide insect names in language and First Nations traditional knowledge for many of these species. 100 Australian Butterflies, Bees, Beetles & Bugs is for anyone wanting a comprehensive yet accessible (and entertaining) guide to anything that flies, crawls, writhes and wriggles. Thanks to Jamil Tye for reviewing First Nations content for this publication.
