This children\'s encyclopedia from National Geographic kids magazine tells with scientific accuracy about various insects and arachnids: what these creatures eat and where they live, how they reproduce and develop, and how they disguise themselves to attack or avoid becoming a victim. The book contains facts about which young readers definitely did not know. For example, there are more than 35 thousand species of spiders in the world! Detailed images, detailed explanations and vivid photographs of the animal world are a real find for those who love to observe insects - from industrious ants to poisonous scorpions, from nimble grasshoppers to charming butterflies - and want to understand their behavior.
