Dangerous Bugs - Booklist
Skin-crawling animal science gets its due in the Dangerous Bugs series (6 titles), which profiles critters one hopes never to encounter in real life. Gargantuan (up to 2 inches), bee-eating arthropods wield their stingers (smooth for repeated use) and strong mandibles (for beeheading) in Asian Giant Hornets. Each volume is loaded with visual appeal, from colorful page designs and excellent photos to multiple infographics that show the featured bug’s size, anatomy, life cycle, and range. The main text is divided into five chapters that describe how the featured bug attacks its prey or perceived threat, its key physical features, its diet and habitat, its lifecycle, and dangers it poses. A “By the Numbers” double-page spread wraps things up with additional stats. An attention-getting, informative series.
