Dewey Discoveries: "Weird Insects" by Michael Worek

The Manduca Project of The University of Arizona states that there are a billion billion insects on earth at any given time. This means that there are 170 million insects per person. With somewhere between 80 to 100 million different insect species, there are some very strange and amazing insects wandering around out there. Michael Worek has graciously gathered beautiful photos of 59 different insects in his book "Weird Insects." Each specimen stands out vividly against a white background, and Worek gives both the common and entomological name as well as a short description of their life and behavior. This interesting and visually stunning book will interest any young reader in the world of insects. For ages 8-10.
