Insect-Lo-Pedia: Young Naturalist's Handbook

Young Naturalist's Handbook: Insect-lo-pedia by Matthew Reinhart, an addition to his other handbooks, Beetles and Butterflies, takes a lighthearted look at creepy-crawlies. The volume examines everything from their common anatomy to peculiarities of individual species. Young mantids, for instance, can actually regrow a lost leg and Bombardier beetles spray attackers with a gas heated to nearly 100 degree F.
