Each book in this series aims to capture the young reader's interest and imagination by dealing with especially unusual creatures, chosen for their extraordinary appearance or behaviour, from a specific group of animals. This volume focuses on the world's astonishing variety of insects, of which some scientists think there may be as many as ten million species. Among the insects examined here are the lantern bug, the cockchafer, the thorn bug, the Australian honeypot ant and the tarantula hawk wasp.
