Review: Excellent reference book - I bought this book for reference in art work. Beautiful pictures with text explaining the little creatures. Very buggy for sure and not sure I'd want to meet one in person! Photos are large and colorful. Why the text is interesting and informative enough for me (I just want to draw them) may or may not be enough information in a scientific perspective for those folks interested in insects, etc.
Review: Great response from desertcart - I bought this book for my grandaughter's birthday present and she loves it. I ordered the book one day and it was delivered to me the next day. Very impressed.
