Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6-A visit to the fascinating world of some very unusual creatures, both in appearance and behavior. Most of the insects live in tropical habitats, but the text does relate similarities in behavior to those found in North America. The reasons for the insects' specific appearances and the importance of these adaptations to survival are explained. Camouflage in its many forms is stressed as being more than just a disguise to escape enemies; predators need it too. The opposite method of protection is covered, as in bright coloration and other attention-getting physical characteristics. The text is lively and informative; the clear, closeup, full-color photographs on every page reflect the concept under discussion. Simple captions keep readers focused on specific insects. An open format with appropriate type size and a glossary and index make this an accessible resource for science shelves.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The book is truly amazing...incredible photos and literature,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bizarre Bugs (Hardcover)
I had the pleasure of meeting Doug, the author and photographer of this book while deep in the Amazon. We asked to see his book over dinner and wine. The entire group surrounded the table in awe while looking at his book "Bizarre Bugs." It is fascinating, creative and truly enjoyable. The book is a wonderful way to explore these spectacular little creatures. His passion for the rain forest and nature flows onto the pages with his work. I would recommend this book to anyone - if you dare to be Bizarre.
