What makes an insect an insect? How is a ladybug different from a butterfly? What is metamorphosis? Classifying Living Things investigates how and why we group animals. Each book focuses on a particular class of living things, looking at the key characteristics that set its members apart from those of other classes. Discover how classes of living things have evolved, and how species have adapted to suit their environments. Find out why certain animals may show some characteristics of a particular class, but actually belong to another. 'Classifying Insects' looks at the amazing class of six-legged fliers. Find out how insects are grouped into orders and how each one is different from the rest. From bedbugs to butterflies, from cockroaches to caddis flies, discover what makes insects so special.

This text addresses the classification of mammals in nature. It is part of a series explaining the concept and need for classification and exploring the key features and characteristics of each classification group. The titles explain how living things within a classification group can be linked by key aspects, such as behaviour, life cycle, appearance and structure. Each volume starts with an introduction to classification -how classification helps us to group animals (and plants), the systems, such as kingdoms, and the use of scientific and common names. The volumes then progress into exploring the specifics of a particular class and provide examples from significant orders. The series will also look at examples which may appear to be, for example birds, but are not really.
