The Twelve Natural History Books of Christmas – Book One: The Curious World of Bugs
When it comes to making the mysterious world of insects (and other arthropods sometimes casually grouped with insects) understandable to a non-specialist audience, few authors have done better in recent years than Daniel Marlos (a.k.a., The Bugman), creator of the What’s That Bug website and author of the recently published The Curious World of Bugs: The Bugman’s Guide to the Mysterious and Remarkable Lives of Things That Crawl.
Combining a seemingly limitless curiosity about the Phylum Arthropoda with his considerable talents as a visual artist, Marlos has organized the contents of The Curious World of Bugs into the form of a lavishly pen and ink illustrated entomological miscellany that is well-suited either for browsing or reading, and perfectly appropriate for naturalists both young and old.
