Softcover
Nigel Forteath was brought-up in the Scottish Highlands where he spent many happy hours observing and identifying birds, fish and aquatic insects. He studied Zoology / Entomology at university and for the past 40 years, continued his research in Tasmania.
This beautifully curated photographic guide is the result of some twenty years of study of the aquatic insect fauna of various lakes and water freshwater bodies within Tasmania. A joint effort with the Launceston Field Naturalists Club, this book is intended for field naturalists and students, and indeed for all those interested in the conservation of our precious Tasmanian aquatic fauna and freshwater habitats. Dragonflies and damselflies now are facing extinction in many parts of the world and recognition of the Tasmanian species is a key step to ensuring their protection here in Tasmania.
