WONDER OF INSECTS (HB)

This richly illustrated and engaging book introduces 70 of the world's most dazzling, extraordinary and, at times, disturbing insects, many of them representing peak biological innovation. By sharing their amazing physical attributes - from wings to antennae, iridescence to camouflage, microscopic Fairy Wasps to Goliath Beetles - entomologist and zoologist Ross Piper reveals the fascinating stories of insect origins, mating rituals and survival, their resonance in culture and history as well as the surprising ways they impact our own lives.
