The Wonder Cabinet of Fabulous Insects: Secrets of the World’s Rarest and Strangest Insects - Hardcover
Synopsis
A fanciful collection featuring gorgeous detailed imagery of the world’s most fabulous insects
Discover the Titan of the Amazon, the “antosaur,” fabulous butterflies with birdlike wings, and even more of the world’s most unbelievable insects in this collectible volume.
Richly illustrated and written by eminent entomologists, this work unveils 50 insects (from among the million hopefuls) that illustrate the beauty and strangeness of this universe, their world so close and yet so mysterious.
What is this beetle that symbolized the sun for the Egyptians? Who is the Maoris’ “god of ugly things”? How did Darwin predict the existence of a butterfly without ever having seen one? The diversity and sheer global number of insects influences the balance of terrestrial natural environments.
They evoke both our fear and fascination. Some were worshipped, others inspire technical uses, and often, their appeal inspires artists or poets. That’s why this book also explores how insects have inspired artwork and scientific innovation throughout history.
