The teeming bug kingdom comes into view, bigger than ever and enlarged to staggering proportions with highly detailed electron microscope photographs, along with occasional real-size insect images beside them to give readers a true sense of scale. Readers will get an amazing and up-close perspective on such creatures as the voraciously hungry caterpillar; the vividly colored Calleta Silkmoth, with blue-and-black spikes covering its body; a Swallowtail Butterfly emerging from its chrysalis; a bright orange Queen Hornet; and a deathly praying mantis, with its luminescent wings and killer pincers.--From publisher description.
