Description
Learn all about the insects living in your own backyard with this fascinating book. Over 40 different types of insects are covered including ladybugs, dragonflies, stick insects, wasps, bees, monarch butterflies, moths, and much more. Beautiful close-up, color photographs let you see these tiny creatures in amazing detail. Captions and field notes explain the physical characteristics, behaviors, and other intricacies of the insects. Each insect's unique growth pattern is explained with captioned photographs. For example, you'll learn how some insects begin as eggs, hatch into larva, then grow into pupa before emerging from their shells as adults. Other insects progress from eggs, to nymphs, then adults. Still others hatch as caterpillars, develop into chrysalises, and emerge as butterflies. An introductory chapter provides an overview of the seasonal cycles, plant life cycles, soil life cycles, and life cycles of insects and spiders. The back of the book includes easy comparison photo guides to eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults; captioned photos of the top host and nectar plants for attracting insects; and an index. 127 pgs, pb. ~ Lisa
