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.
