Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
That Gunk on Your Car is a seriously funny book filled with fascinating information about common insects, especially the ones you are most likely to find splattered on your windshield. Chapters are organized around the individual insects--ants, mosquitoes, grasshoppers, butterflies, crickets, midges--and include information on the natural history and life cycles of each and fun things you can do with the insects. That Gunk on Your Car would be an excellent parent/child participatory book: the lively text is easy to read and scientifically accurate. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Product Description
Fascinated by the critters he found stuck to his car at the end of a road trip, zoologist Mark Hostetler started looking into just what ends up on your windshield and why. From the common mole cricket to the dog-day cicada, this scientifically sound and charmingly written book makes an amusing and educational addition to any offbeat nature list. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
