About the Book

Be an eyewitness to creepy crawlies around the world. Bees, beetles, bugs, butterflies and more - love them or hate them insects are everywhere. Discover the different varieties, body-structure, life-cycles and behaviour - from why bees make honey to which insects have ears on their knees.

Find out 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.

With incredible photographs including duelling stag beetles locked in combat, a wasps' nest under construction, and an adult damselfly emerging from its old skin children will be fascinated by this world of creepy crawlies.
