Description
Behold the brilliant bugs that lurk beneath every log and leaf - from bright butterflies to organized ants - in this illustrated guide.
Become an eyewitness to the many different varieties of insects in this picture-led reference guide that will take you on a visual tour of the world of creepy-crawlies. Children will be mesmerized by their different varieties, body-structures, life cycles, and behaviors – from why bees make honey to which insects have ears on their knees.
This illustrated guide for kids aged 9+ reveals what the earliest insects looked like, how insects fly, and what a wasp's-eye-view looks like. Learn how insects – often seen as pests by humans – perform a vital role as pollinators of food crops.
Throughout the pages of this newly-revised book on insects, you can expect to find:
- A fresh new look; new photographs, updated information, and a new "eyewitness" feature.
- Amazing facts, updated diagrams, statistics, and timelines.
- Brand new eyewitness accounts from experts in the field.
Eyewitness Insect features striking full-color photographs of dueling stag beetles locked in combat, a wasps' nest under construction, and an adult damselfly emerging from its old skin that will easily lure children into the fascinating world of creepy-crawlies.
