Bruce Purser spent the first ten years of his life on a sheep farm in New Zealand where he developed his lifelong fascination with insects. He trained as a geologist, which led him to the jungles of Borneo and Sumatra. He visited many tropical forests, notably those of South America. In the 1970s he moved from collecting insects to photographing them.
An illustrated, with thoughtful commentary, look at the sophisticated techniques and behaviors insects have evolved to protect themselves from predators -- the product of a lifetime spent in exotic locals.
