A guide to some of the smallest, most fascinating creatures in the animal kingdom

Behold the brilliant bugs that lurk beneath every log and leaf— from bright butterflies to organized ants.

Bees, beetles, bugs, butterflies, and more—love them or hate them, insects are everywhere. Discover their different varieties, body-structures, life cycles, and behaviors—from why bees make honey to which insects have ears on their knees.

Find out what the earliest insects looked like, how insects fly, and what a wasp’s-eye-view looks like. Learn how insects—often seen as pests by humans—perform a vital role as pollinators of food crops. With incredible photographs including dueling stag beetles locked in combat, a wasps’ nest under construction, and an adult damselfly emerging from its old skin, DK Eyewitness Insect will easily lure children into the fascinating world of creepy-crawlies.
