Did you also grow up with Dr Skaife next to Dr Spock on the bookshelf? John Ledger, entomologist and Anthony Bannister, well-known wildlife photographer, both thank Skaife and his remarkable book, African insect life, for their interest into the insect.

African Insect Life introduces the reader to the more than 100,000 insect species found in Africa - from the cool heath lands of the Cape to West Africa's dense forests. In this edition, Dr John Ledger has fully revised Dr S.H. Skaife's original text to incorporate the findings of modern research. Two new chapters contribute background information on the arthropod relatives of African insects and introduce the reader to the fascinating hobbies of insect collecting, study and photography.
