Bugs: They are beautiful, mind-bending, adorable, strange, silly, and essential to life as we know it. These wondrous creatures are neighborhood treasures and offer endless adventure. They are also often misunderstood, but Pat Stadille can help you make friends with them! Bugs in Your Neighborhood introduces readers of all ages to a dazzling range of dragonflies, hoppers, flies, beetles, butterflies, and many more fun critters. Find out about the music of grasshoppers and katydids, the special senses of wasps, and the weird eating practices of giant water bugs. Featuring over 400 bugs and over 1,000 photographs and drawings, Bugs in Your Neighborhood packs a wealth of information into a friendly, pocket-size format. This book is the perfect companion for anyone who wishes to know their bug neighbors a little better.
