Book Description:
<DIV><DIV><DIV><DIV>More than HALF A MILLION Life Size books have been sold and kids are sure to go buggy over this new and super sized vision of the insect world!<BR>Bugs: they re the most successful animal group on earth and in most cases by far the ugliest. But that s what makes them so compelling to look at. In this new spin on the best selling <I>Life Size</I> series, the teeming bug kingdom comes into view, bigger than ever and enlarged to staggering proportions. That s because the book is packed with highly detailed electron microscope photographs, along with occasional real size insect images beside them to give readers a true sense of scale. Children 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. Everything a kid loves is here: crushing mandibles, quivering antennae, hairy hooked legs, and intricate compound eyes. Plus, the back jacket turns into a 42 x 14 inch poster! You ll feel as if you re getting a privileged glimpse into an entirely different universe, and the scientific information accompanying the spectacular images is equally phenomenal. <BR></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV>
