It provides an introduction to the characteristics that define 26 order of insects in Australia, which help readers to indentify insects to the level of order. Provides classification of 661 families and concise description of the largest families.

Over 1370 species are illustrated and the text includes information on the history, ecology, Aboriginal and European uses of each plant, together with references to literature and the journals of explorers.
