  We review recent research on Delta Scuti stars from an observer's viewpoint.
First, some signposts helping to lead the way through the Delta Scuti jungle
are placed. Then, some problems in studying individual pulsators in the
framework of asteroseismology are given before a view on how the study of these
variables has benefited (or not) from past and present high-precision
asteroseismic space missions is presented. Some possible pitfalls in the
analysis of data with a large dynamical range in pulsational amplitudes are
pointed out, and a strategy to optimize the outcome of asteroseismic studies of
Delta Scuti stars is suggested. We continue with some views on "hybrid"
pulsators and interesting individual High Amplitude Delta Scuti stars, and then
take a look on Delta Scuti stars in stellar systems of several different kinds.
Recent results on pre-main sequence Delta Scuti stars are discussed as are
questions related to the instability strip of these variables. Finally, some
remarkable new theoretical results are highlighted before, instead of a set of
classical conclusions, questions to be solved in the future, are raised.
