This title offers a captivating inside view of the life of two of
the most successful insect species on the planet, with over 200
pictures. It investigates the many intriguing aspects of beetles
and bugs, from feeding and fighting, to flawless methods of
camouflage and techniques for attracting mates. You can see how
these insects' bodies change dramatically at each stage of their
life cycle. It comes with more than 200 stunning images by top
wildlife photographers, plus superb illustrations revealing the
complex inner workings of a bug's body. Special picture sequences
zoom in closer still to focus on a particular subject, such as a
stag beetle battle and insects in flight. It is a lively and
accessible reference, perfect for home and school use for 8- to
12-year-olds. This exciting book focuses on beetles (Coleoptera),
the largest insect order of them all, and their close relations,
true bugs (Hemiptera). It sets these remarkable creatures in the
context of the insect world as a whole, also taking a look at other
minibeasts, such as grasshoppers, mantids and fleas, true flies and
dragonflies. Amazing close-up photographs reveal the secrets of
minibeast life: their all-seeing compound eyes, their
super-sensitive antennae, their deadly jaws - and the incredible
sight of a perfectly formed insect emerging from its pupal case.
