Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book revisits taxonomy and related classification systems established by Carl Linnaeus and other foundational entomologists of the 18th century. The author finds flaws in some classifications, particularly as it concerns the Orthoptera order of insects. The author takes aim at the treatment of several insects that had been classified as Orthoptera but instead should be classified as Forficulidae (earwigs). Going beyond earwigs, the author examines other insects in the Orthoptera order, concluding that the order should be revised further to include 10 different guilds, each of which contain multiple insect families. The author details the various types of mouthparts and wing structure found among these guilds and how they led him to his conclusions. This work provides an important perspective on insect taxonomy by challenging established classifications and providing more accurate guidelines for future scientists.
