About The Book
The book covers twenty experiments based on various aspects on taxonomy, anatomy, physiology, histology, enzymology, contains various methods of insect collection and preservation. The popular tests covered under this book include, chitin test, uric acid test, waxy component test, red dye test, enzymes, chemo reception and neurosecretary cells. Qualitative and quantitative count of haemocytes. Dissection of grasshopper, blister beetle and plant bug is also an important part of the book. Appropriate photographs and sketches will certainly and relevance in understanding the experiments. Thus, the book will fulfil the demand for Entomology students.
