Description
Is that creepy critter an insect? How do these tiny creatures survive? This volume brings readers up close and personal with many different insect species, including dung beetles, moths, and praying mantises. They'll learn how to classify insects into different groups, such as true flies and true bugs. Readers will love learning about amazing senses and skills insects have developed over time, from a fly's many mini-eyes to an orchid mantis's disguise. Color photographs and diagrams guide readers through the insect world and illustrate important life science concepts, such as metamorphosis and evolution. Diagrams and sidebars add even more fun facts to this exciting journey through a bug's life.
