The third in our award-winning Atlas series, following Dinosaur
Atlas and Animal Atlas, Lonely Planet Kids' Bug Atlas focuses on
the magical miniature world of creepy crawlies. Continent by
continent, we take a tour around the globe to uncover fascinating
bugs, insects, scorpions, spiders and other icky things that live
around, alongside - and often even on - us. Maps show where the
critters live, while gatefolds and flaps open to reveal their
wonderful, and sometimes very weird, mini lives. From spiders the
size of dinner plates, stick insects as long as golf clubs and
mega-ant colonies that stretch across countries to cannibal
mantises, zombie ants, giant millipedes, beautiful butterflies,
shiny iridescent beetles and more, this is a fascinating, in-depth
exploration of the world of bugs. As with previous titles in this
series, Bug Atlas features a mixture of art and photography,
densely packed with information and illustrated with incredible
images. Features include: Detailed maps of every continent showing
where all the fascinating bugs live. Data boxes for each amazing
species, listing its name, size, habitat, diet and more. Life-size
elements, both big and small, showing you just how enormous a
goliath-bird eating spider is (you don't want to know) to tiny bugs
that share our homes almost unnoticed. Incredible macro photography
revealing the minute detail of these minibeasts Animal Adaptations
- Showing how each species is perfectly adapted for its
environment, including the amazing camouflage of leaf insects.
