| Keeping
Stick Insects book Keeping Stick Insects continues to be a bestseller and is already in its fourth reprint. It has 64 pages, colour photos showing what the eggs look like etc, details on seven commonly kept species, a topic section and details on the basic biology of stick insects. In the book, I share my observations, gathered over many years of keeping stick insects. I also use my knowledge of biology, acquired during my degree at Cambridge University, to ensure that the biology of insects information is accurate. You can buy Keeping Stick Insects from Amazon and other on-line bookstores or you can buy it direct from Small-Life Supplies. This book is in stock and so you'll receive it very quickly. If you buy from Small-Life Supplies, I'm happy to sign it for you and write a short message, if you wish. Price £8.99 + £1.20 delivery Click to buy book "Keeping Stick Insects"  |

| The Bug File Volume 5
I'm delighted to be editing Volume 5 of The Bug File. This publication covers lots of different insects, with articles concentrating on their behaviour and lifestyles. There are contributions from people working with insects as well as from people studying insects. The latest insect news and discoveries are highlighted and the insect puzzle section is popular with its insect crosswords, sudukos, anagrams and codes! The Bug File is sent to you by post once a month. You receive ten loose pages; these are different colours, depending on the topic. You file the pages in the binder provided, with the dividers separating the contents into five topic sections. After one year, you'll have received all twelve issues and the index, and this completes volume 5. The Bug File is aimed at teenagers and adults with a keen interest in insects. However, a number of younger people enjoy this publication too - the articles are written in a clear style and so can be understood by the under 12s, if they are advanced. Price £24.00 including delivery (12 issues, one issue per month). Click to buy The Bug File |
