Not only are there an astonishingly ten quintillion
(10,000,000,000,000,000,000) insects alive at any one time - they have
been around for some 400 million years! Even before dinosaurs roamed the
planet. Discover a hidden world; from the very tiny micro bugs that can
only be seen under a microscope to the giant Goliath Bird Eating
Tarantula. Here are some seriously smart creatures.
You'll find that:
- some termite queens lay up to 40,000 eggs a day
- fleas can jump 30,000 times non-stop
- spiders that look like bird dropping or beetles
- all the world's ants weigh more than all the people in the world
- And much more!
Dramatic photography mixed with comic-style art and humming facts on
what makes these amazing creatures so awesome and why they are so
important to our natural world. Insects rule. OK?
