Description
'African Insect Life' by S. H. Skaife is a richly illustrated introduction to the remarkable diversity of insects found across Africa, written by South African naturalist and entomologist Sydney Harold Skaife.

Illustrated with the author’s own drawings and photographs, it makes the study of insect life accessible without sacrificing scientific detail. This first edition, published by Longmans, Green and Co. in 1953, is a significant work in South African natural-history literature and a collectible reference for enthusiasts of entomology and vintage Africana.
