From the jeweled hues of a butterfly's wings to the industrious
lifestyles of beetles, no one captures insects more richly or
artfully than Maryjo Koch. With the gentle wit and remarkable
precision that have made her previous illustrated nature studies so
popular, Koch offers a remarkable perspective on the animal
kingdom... in miniature.
The often invisible world of insect life, thrumming beneath our
feet and high above our heads, is revealed here as to an outsider
visiting a private, secret land. Weaving instructive text about
metamorphosis, locomotion, pollination, camouflage and migration
with lyrical selections of poetry and prose from William
Shakespeare, Tennyson and others, "Dragonfly Beetle Butterfly Bee"
informs as it entertains.
Maryjo Koch trains her naturalist eye and artistic sensibility
on the leaping bounds of the hot-footed Wolf Spider, the file-like
music of the grasshopper's mating song, the sugar-sensitive feet of
the Red Admiral Butterfly and the scuba-diving plunges of the
fierce Diving Beetle after its prey. An exquisite art book as well
as a treasure trove of facts and amusing observations, this
luscious volume is perfect for art lovers, naturalists, teachers,
children and everyone fascinated by the intriguing and varied world
of insects.
