A fascinating look at the ingenious engineering and incredible anatomical design of insects, and how they are inspiring scientists to create a more sustainable world.
Insects are the tiny superheroes of the natural world: from the way they can camouflage themselves to their amazing teamwork, their incredible superpowers have been inspiring scientists for generations. And the more we discover about insect behavior--how they use energy, navigate, adapt, and more--the more they can teach us about how to live.
Beautifully designed with full-color illustration throughout and packed with STEM content, Built Like a Bug invites readers to look beyond what they think they know about the teeny tiny creepy crawlers all around us. Could we one day adapt to avoid harmful foods like cockroaches? Will needles mimicking mosquitoes hurt less? How could drones modeled after dragonfly wings help prevent environmental disasters? What can termites teach us about how to stay cool in an increasingly warming world? Across eight chapters featuring sidebars, accessible language, and multiple examples from the insect world, science educator Anjali Joshi's exploration of the amazing inventions borne from studying bug behavior will enthrall insect enthusiasts and insectophobes alike.
