Backyard insects with monster-sized reputations
Ian McGee’s graphic novel frames real insects through the imagery of familiar movie monsters, connecting creepy-crawly biology with vampires, mummies and zombies. Its subjects include blood-feeding insects, deceptive behaviors and an insect described as drinking through its own rear end. The book’s mix of science-and-nature comics and macabre comparisons turns ordinary backyard bugs into the focus of a collection of curious true stories. The monster references provide a playful lens for exploring insect behavior, while the graphic-novel format places that material in a visual storytelling context.
