Features: Introduction This textbook is designed based on the principles of closely linking fundamental theoretical knowledge of general entomology, reducing repetition, and striving for practicality. It summarizes the teaching achievements of many institutions in recent years, changing the original approach of introducing pests by crop units to a system based on pest morphology classification combined with their harmful habits. It provides descriptions of 269 species (subspecies) of harmful animals, including those affecting grain, cotton, oil, sugar, tobacco, hemp, fruit trees, vegetables, flowers, and stored products in northern China, accompanied by 266 black-and-white illustrations. Additionally, at the end of each chapter, there are keys to common adult and larval pests in northern China, covering 512 adult species and 232 larval species. This book is suitable as a textbook for practical teaching in agricultural entomology and horticultural plant entomology, and it also serves as an excellent reference for scientists and technicians in plant protection and related fields.
