Get a close-up look at the world of insects with the sixth book in Julia Rothman's Anatomy series: a delightfully illustrated guide to the fascinating insects, bugs, arachnids, and other creatures that populate our planet by the billions. Millions of species of insects fly, crawl, dig, swarm, and eat on every continent. Our very existence depends on them; without pollinators, we would have no food, and without decomposers, the world would be covered in decaying plant and animal material. With her signature style, Julia Rothman delves into this incredible world, uncovering amazing facts about bees, beetles, butterflies, and so much more.…mehr

SAMPLE TEXT
An insect has three body parts (head, thorax, and abdomen), six legs, and
typically wings.
Spiders have just two body parts, plus fangs, as well as spinnerets for
spinning threads for webs and cocoons. Also, they have 8 legs.
A “true bug” is a small insect that has sucking mouthparts and forewings
and undergoes incomplete metamorphosis.
People Eating Bugs
It’s been estimated that people ingest nearly two pounds of bugs every year
without knowing it. On the other hand, many bugs are safe to eat and even
provide lots of nutrients. In fact, Europe and North America are among the
only places where bug-eating is not common practice.
Some types of bugs that are regularly (and purposefully) consumed by humans
around the world include ants, beetles, caterpillars, centipedes, cicadas,
cockroaches, crickets, dragonflies, earthworms, grasshoppers, June bugs,
locusts, mealworms, midge flies, pillbugs, scorpions, stink bugs,
tarantulas, termites, walking sticks, and wasps.
Lemon Ants - In China, boiled ants make a delicious soup. In the Amazon,
people simply scrape the ants from a tree and crush them on their teeth.
Grasshoppers (also known as Chapulines) are common fare in Oaxaca. They’re
often eaten as snacks, or crushed and sprinkled on top of dishes to enhance
the flavor.
