Norwich-based artist and insect enthusiast Vanna Bartlett has spent three years painting, drawing and writing her personal illustrated alphabet of invertebrates. Her wonderful colour plates bring together moths, butterflies, bees, wasps, spiders, hoverflies, shieldbugs, grasshoppers, dragonflies, woodlice and many many more species. She has observed a remarkable number of these mini-beasts in her own Norwich garden, designed and managed to maximise wildlife. The book is informative and entertaining. Vanna hopes her enthusiasm for arthropods will spread widely.
