Bugged-Out Insects

What kind of insect would make its home in a pile of dung? Does a female praying mantis really eat its mate? Do house flies spit on your food? Author Margaret J. Anderson answers all of these questions in this book as she explores the weird behavior, habits, and characteristics of insects. There are millions of different kinds of insects in the world, and many of them do things so bizarre you'll have to read it to believe it.

New ed. (1996). Bizarre Science series. If readers ignore the gimmicky series title, dripping purple caption boxes, and descriptors such as ugly, they'll find this revised book contains an informative text and engaging photographs. Five chapters cover different types of insects, behaviors, characteristics, life cycles, and defenses. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind., The Horn Book Guide Fall 2011
