Description
Insects have been around on Earth since before the first dinosaurs appeared. They live everywhere - from scorching deserts to gloomy caverns - and this collection of superb photographs opens our eyes to their amazing variety and complexity.Beginning with the body structure of a beetle and the differences between insects and other invertebrates the book reveals fascinating facts about insect life-cycles and social life. There are incredible close-up shots including the grasping legs of a praying mantis as well as real-life photographic sequences. Rare and exotic specimens are also featured including the biggest dragonfly in the world and a beetle that looks like a violin.Produced in association with the Natural History Museum London Insect introduces the reader to the remarkable natural history and hidden life of insects worldwide.
