Product Description
This is the story of entomology in western Canada from the time of the explorers to the outbreak of the Second World War. Riegert describes the impact of insect hordes; from the mosquitoes which assaulted the Danish explore Jens Munk on the shores of Hudson Bay in 1619, to the devastating plagues of grasshoppers of the 1930s.
