Get to know the fascinating world of insects with this fabulous introductory book on bugs which is ideal for children, and also for adults who are new to this popular subject. Find That Bug combines clear colour photos of each creepy crawly with concise text that covers essential information such as size, when and where to find them, favoured habitat and any key markings – in short everything you need to know.
A feature that makes this book unique is that there is a tick box next to every insect name, allowing the reader to keep track of the various bugs they have seen, compare notes with friends, or even start a competition to see who has seen the most.
The short introduction offers useful tips and advice for the beginner bug enthusiast, while the bulk of the book is made up of the species and family accounts. These are arranged four to a spread and include representatives of all the families that typify the buglife of Australia, from beetles and grasshoppers to butterflies and dragonflies. As well as the adult insects, some of the earlier stages in the insect lifecycle, such as caterpillars, are also included.
Find That Bug covers more than 175 insects in total, is packed with nearly 200 colour photographs and offers excellent value for money for anyone, young or old, beginning their bugwatching journey.
The book is a handy size for slipping into a pocket or bag for days out exploring. And together with its sister title Find That Bird it forms a brand new series that will inspire newcomers to explore the wonders of the natural world.
