Backyard insects with monster-movie connections

Ian McGee’s graphic novel turns familiar backyard insects into the subject of offbeat nature stories, linking their real behaviors to the imagery of vampires, mummies, and zombies. The publisher’s description highlights blood-feeding, deception, and other unusual insect traits, including one bug that drinks through its rear end. Framed as juvenile nonfiction in comics form, the book brings science and monster references together without leaving the world of common creepy-crawlies.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Kids ages 9–12 interested in graphic novels about science and nature
  • Young readers curious about insects and unusual animal behaviors
  • Monster-movie fans who enjoy real-world connections to vampires, mummies, and zombies

Book overview

Beware: Miniature monsters are hiding in your backyard!

Sure, they may look like ordinary bugs--but these insects have inspired many of your favorite movie monsters, like vampires, mummies, and zombies. Open this book (if you dare) to discover blood sucking assassins, voodoo tricksters, body snatchers, kung fu killers--and even a bug that drinks with its own butt! These true and twisted tales of common insects put the creepy back in creepy-crawlies.
