Do you know the difference between insects and arachnids? What does a ladybug eat and what does a spider eat? Where can you find a leafcutter ant? Grab your magnifying glass because the world of creepy-crawly things is getting its close up! With these fully illustrated books at hand, discover the weird and interesting attributes of our multi-legged friends. After all, insects make up two thirds of the world's known species.
