Book Review-Grasshopper Country, the Abundant Othopteroid Insects of Australia.

Abstract

To a non-specialist reader the title grasshopper country may appear somewhat misleading as the book also covers cockroaches, mantids and stick insects. Although the term Orthopteroid includes all such creatures of orthopteran stock nowhere the author tells us
the common features that link all such apparently diverse animals even though a chapter is devoted to basic characteristics of the group.
