Summary

"The insect world is a fascinating place. You may not think so. You may think insects are gross. Or scary. Or dangerous. But there's so much more to insects than what meets the eye. Told through hilarious prose and packed full of jaw-dropping facts, Brenna Maloney's first-person narrative presents the big picture on bugs. Insects play a critical role on our planet -- as pollinators, garbage collectors, artistic muses, research partners, and even as "dinner." As weird and wonderful as they are, insects and their habitats are under threat in our changing world. Using thorough research and investigative techniques, as well as employing a healthy dose of humor, Maloney helps readers see the world through their eyes. Find out what all the buzz is about!" --Book jacket
