This manual on the fundamentals of entomology has been written to provide practical knowledge necessary for a beginner and those who may never again have a laboratory exercise in general biology. For those who plan to major in entomology, this manual will provide sufficient background in important phases of entomology adequate to cope with the future and more specialized subjects.
