Introducing 70 of the world's most dazzling, extraordinary and, at times, disturbing insects. In this richly illustrated and engaging book, you'll discover their remarkable adaptations, intricate worlds and the surprising ways they impact our own lives.

Many of these insects represent 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, as well as their resonance in culture and history.

With large-scale, detailed illustrations by Carim Nahaboo, this is a celebration of these endlessly fascinating and important creatures.
