Insects, Bugs and Other Invertebrates

Hundreds of millions of years before humans had evolved, our planet was already teeming with life. In prehistoric oceans, stony deserts, warm swamps and vast grasslands, there lived an incredible variety of plants and animals. Invertebrates made up a huge number of Earth’s life forms. Among them, giant sea scorpions as big as a lion terrorised the oceans, enormous millipedes fed on plants in dense Carboniferous forests and tiny wasps preyed on cockroach larvae in lush tropical regions. Children will pour over the incredibly detailed illustrations and timeline, and be absorbed by the wealth of information.
