Description: Authoritatively written and beautifully illustrated, this book is an eye-opening introduction to the fascinating world of insects and some of the many skills they possess, from catching prey in mid-flight, to underwater swimming, or creating special amplification chambers to enhance their singing. The author considers not only the damage these creatures can wreak, but also the vital importance of this, the largest single animal group within the ecological structure of our world.
