Insects of the World and Other Invertebrates

Insects rule the Earth: they make up over 90% of all land species and are the most abundant, diverse and astonishing group of animals on the planet. This book reveals them like never before – from hunting techniques and defence strategies to mating rituals, traps and venoms. Complex societies that wage war, build great structures and even practise agriculture.

But it's not just about insects: the book also explores their closest relatives – spiders, scorpions, centipedes, millipedes and land crustaceans, each with a surprisingly unique way of life. Over 250 detailed illustrations accompany clear, informative texts, while more than 20 large-format plates faithfully recreate natural habitats, unveiling the extraordinary beauty of the natural world.

With built-in QR codes, children can access hand-picked YouTube videos for an interactive reading experience that makes learning genuinely exciting. Perfect for school, home or as a gift.
