Research Material and Referencing

In order to produce this book, I have had to study many different creatures and their habits and habitats.

This would not have been possible without a huge amount of research.

Listed below are some of the books and other research resources that I have used during the course of this project

I have also conducted research via the internet in order to identify some of the insects that I have not been able to identify in the books above.


I have used the following website:

http://www.gardensafari.net



I have found this to be an invaluable tool in identifying hard to find insects. It is incredibly accurate and concise in its detail and is something that I will definitely refer to again in the future.
