Insect

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.
