Synopsis
In this classic of natural history, National Medal of Science winner May Berenbaum weaves a web of spellbinding portraits that acquaints readers with the multitudes sharing our world and, alas, our kitchen. Go small or go home as Berenbaum reveals: Why the "Jesus bug" can walk on water How the katydid's nighttime noise inspired romantic poetry The trapping prowess of the hungry antlion That disgusting thing chiggers do to eat your skin A witty and educational guide that's as accessible as the container of flour you should have closed more tightly, Ninety-nine Gnats, Nits, and Nibblers is the fascinating story of our million closest neighbors.

Review
"Never has a buggy smorgasbord been so inviting -- and so much fun to pitch into... Each of the ninety-nine entries combines an instructive drawing of the arthropodan hero or heroine or both -- usually in a cartoon -- with an engaging and humorous but accurate and highly informative text." -- Quarterly Review of Biology
