Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Stunningly illustrated, Encyclopedia of Insects is crammed with the tiny critters that make up the majority of life on Earth—insects! Don't dismiss these amazing arthropods as icky creepy crawlies—our six-legged friends are more astonishing (and essential!) than most people realise.

Every insect is looked at in fascinating detail by natural history expert Jules Howard, and painted by evolutionary biologist and illustrator Miranda Zimmerman. Organised by scientific order, this encyclopedia will help readers discover the mind-boggling diversity of bug life, from the most beautiful butterfly down to the humblest flea, and find out why insects are in fact some of the most interesting and important creatures on Earth.
