This large-format
book identifies families of insects in short paragraphs
of text accompanied by large-scale, full-color paintings
and photographs. Well-labeled diagrams identify the
body types and parts common to many insects and spiders.
Within each large category (flies, beetles, etc.), a
double-page spread focuses on one member of the group,
such as the honeybee or dragonfly, offering a closer
look at its stages of development, habits, and special
characteristics. Crisp and well-designed, this is an
inviting visual introduction to insects and arachnids.
