Book
Amazing insects around the world / by DGPH Studio.
These creatures might be small, but they make a big impact! Insects represent over 90 percent of all living beings on the planet! And they are everywhere! There are more insects in one square mile of rural land than there are human beings living in the world. Praying mantises that can eat mice, camouflaging caterpillars, and venomous Australian spiders are just a few subjects in Amazing Insects Around the World. -- From back cover.
