Just out in paperback are two brilliant books of photographs. By entomologist John Brackenbury, both contain a treasure chest of images of insects. Insects in Flight (Cassell, £14.99, ISBN 0 7137 2594 X) is the result of selecting the pick of about 20 000 photographs, and is both extraordinary and beautiful. You get more words for your money in Insects, Life Cycles and the Seasons (£14.90 ISBN 0 7137 2598 2), but the photographs are still the stars.
