Insect




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 behaviours - 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 duelling 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.

Part of the best-selling DK Eyewitness series, which is now getting an exciting makeover, this popular title has been reinvigorated for the next generation of information-seekers and stay-at-home explorers, with a fresh new look, new photographs, updated information, and a new "eyewitness feature - fascinating first-hand accounts from experts in the field.
