A visual guide to the insect world

Organized around close-up photographs and concise captions, this encyclopedia introduces insects through their variety, bodies, habitats, and behaviors. Its examples range from tiny fairy wasps to giant wetas, with coverage of glowing insects, backyard species, honeybees and pollination, and how insects communicate, hunt, and care for their young. The book also connects insect life to ecosystems and food growing, giving the subject a broader natural-world context. The photo-led format makes visual details—from hairy legs to shimmering wings—part of the book’s way of exploring entomology.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children interested in insects, bugs, and other small animals.
