Insects are everywhere and easy to find -- if you know where to
look. Minnesota Bug Hunt puts you on the trail for insects big and
small, fierce and friendly. Explore habitats as near your own
backyard and as focused as an oak tree or as populated as a swath
of forest, and use your senses to discover the bugs who share our
world. See those bright flowers? If theyre goldenrod, you might
find a Locust Borer Beetle feeding there. Listen carefully in a
patch of prairie for the rasping of a male Broad-winged Katydid as
he sings to find a mate. Bruce Giebink introduces you to creatures
familiar, like an earwig or firefly, and fascinating, like the
Cecropia Moth or the Acorn Weevil. He shares fun facts about where
they live and what they eat and how they protect themselves.
Astonishingly detailed photos by Bill Johnson bring beetles and
bumblebees, dragonflies and water bugs up close and personal so you
can marvel at their unique body parts and vibrant colours. Step
outside with your eyes wide open and a net or magnifying glass in
hand to discover these insects and many more on your own Minnesota
bug hunt. Entomologist Bruce Giebink -- better known as Bruce the
Bug Guy -- offers activities for children of all ages through his
entertainment company the Bug Zone. Award-winning photographer Bill
Johnsons work is featured in the Kaufman Field Guide to Insects of
North America and in his Horticulture Magazine column, "Insect ID".
