Description
Fascinating and richly illustrated stories of insects in 366 daily entries, from dancing honeybees to the largest spider webs in the world. In this beautifully produced guide, entomologists Gail Ashton and Dominic Couzens present a look at hundreds of insects, as well as what makes each one so important. With a fascinating, bitesize entry for every day of the year, you can learn all about insect behaviour, migration, protection mechanisms, their involvement in folklore, history, literature, and more. Learn what the scientific name for each bug is, find out what people have had to say about them over the years from poetry to scientific papers, and see what they look like for yourself with a detailed image to accompany each entry. Discover the story of the gnat, whose wings beat at 1000 times a second, the glowworm, who has captured the power of light, and the sacred scarab beetle, worshipped in Egypt thousands of years ago. Illustrated with stunning photographs and works of art, showcasing the colours, textures and strange and unique features of these fascinating creatures, this collection is a celebration of insects and their special place in our ecosystems and culture.
