[IUFRO RG 7.03 FORENT] Seeking a good text book on insect genetics.

Folks, If it's 1800 hrs. this pathologist has turned into an internet student of entomology. I reared a Perilampid out of an Oak gall, which I had assumed to have been a Cynipid gall. One thing leads to another (on the internet) and I began to read about Cynipid sex, and found it to be as complex as my previous study of aphid life cycles. I suspect some authors have different names for the same stage, and others use the same name for different phases. My most recent reading talked about 2 types of males or females and yet the diagrammes showed them behaving the same. So here is my question. Would the professionals like to recommend a text book to an amateur who wants to understand the strategies, sex determination and insect life cycles, across all orders &c, (and yet not get too bogged down in the details of the DNA of some fruit fly)? Yours, Martin MacKenzie, Forest Pathologist Southern Sierra Shared Service Area Stanislaus National Forest 19777 Greenley Road Sonora, CALIFORNIA 95370 (209) 532 3671 ext 242 qui docet discit
