Megabugs by Miranda Macquitty
This study of insects is illustrated with photographs from the Natural History Museum's entomological department, plus artwork and photographs from the museum's "Megabugs" exhibition. By blowing the familiar creatures up to a great size, to create "megabugs", it shows insects to be the fearsomely efficient organisms that they are. At close quarters their bodies appear bizarre and fantastic their behaviour extraordinary. The book examines the success of insects mobility, camouflage, feeding, predation, mating and nurture, and touches on the work by entomologists to understand these creatures. The aim of the book is to the demonstrate that insects' position as the dominant form of animal life on Earth is both natural and inevitable.| SKU | Unavailable |
