This is an excellent little biography of a man that studied little things, but there is nothing small about his knowledge or life.

Erica McAlister - entomologist, presenter and museum curator at the Natural History Museum, London

This is a delightful account of one person’s life-long fascination and engagement with creatures ‘with more than five legs’. Originating as a set of notes for his children, Peter explores his encounters with a variety of invertebrate groups while employed as an entomologist at Plymouth University (formerly Plymouth Polytechnic). … The book should appeal to a wide range of readers from young teens upwards and its infectious enthusiasm will surely persuade at least some to head out and investigate the wonder of invertebrates for themselves.

A fascinating insight into the life of an entomologist.

George McGavin - zoologist, entomologist, broadcaster

This excellent little book, and the career it describes, are living proof of the truth of that argument ‘the more you look, the more you see’.

Niche, British Ecological Society

I think Peter must keep a diary. Either that, or he’s got a brilliant memory for anecdotes. They are well told. Many entomologists who have been in the game for as long as he has will have had equally fascinating experiences, but few are able to put them on paper so engagingly.
