Look around! Insects are everywhere! There are more insects on earth than any other group of living creatures. Insects all have bodies in three segments. They have compound eyes and breath through holes in their sides. Bees, butterflies, and worms are all helpful. Other interesting insects are ants, cicadas, beetles, dragon mantises, bullet ant, grasshoppers, crickets, fleas, Katydids, walking sticks, thorn bugs, fireflies, and others. If you love insects, go on an insect expedition of your own. 

Exploring Insects is whimsical, colorful, and cute while giving essential facts on many common and unique insects. McDonald knows how to tell the most interesting facts in a simple easy to understand way. I appreciate "The Stats" on some of the pages.
