Divided into three sections, with at a glance symbols for easy reference, this book is accompanied by spectacular photographs from each of the bug, beetle, spider, and snake families. Illustrated tables enable you to tell a glowworm from a lantern fly, a tree boa from a tree python. Comprehensive information on habitats, feeding, and reproduction is provided. This compact and comprehensive volume will teach you all you need to know, and more, about bugs, beetles, spiders, and snakes.
