Karen Pearson asks about bug books for Australia.
For moths and also butterflies many of the Australain books are rather
technical treatises rather than ready to use identification guides. As far
as I'm aware there have not been any recent guides to this sort of thing
but the following should be accessable via a good library.
Braby, M. F. (2000) Butterflies of Australia: Their Identification, Biology
and Distribution. ANIC/CSIRO Entomology: Canberra. CSIRO Collingwood.
Common, I.F.B. (1993) Moths of Australia. Melbourne University Press. ISBN
0 522 84326 3
Goode, J. (1980) Insects of Australia. Angus & Robertson, London.
Harvey, M.S. and Yen, A.L. (1989) Worms to Wasps. Oxford University Press.
ISBN 0 19 553081 0
Zbrowski, P. and R. Storey. (1995) A Field Guide to Insects in Australia. Reed
Books, Sydney
and
CSIRO (1991) The Insects of Australia - A textbook for students and
research workers. 2nd edition. Vols. I and II. CSIRO and Melb. Univ.
Press. ISBN 0 522 84454 5
