Description: No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. spine taped, edge wear, corner crease; We learn in this How and Why Wonder Book that there are seven to eight million kinds of insects. How could there possibly be so many? We are sometimes prompted to ask the same thing about the curiosities of children who seem to have endless questions about their world. This book is an ideal source of answers to children's questions about insects. What is a gold bug? What is a water penny? What is an ant cow? These are just a few of the unusual insects described in the book, along with many more familiar ones. There is perhaps no more remarkable change in living things than in the development of certain insects from egg to larva to pupa to adult. Understanding this process gives a person a deep appreciation for the remarkable patterns in nature. Seeking accurate descriptions of such patterns is one thing scientists do, and they get great personal satisfaction when they make new discoveries. This book may encourage some children to continue the study of insects, called entomology, and select this science as a vocation. Parents, too, will enjoy this book with their children. In addition to the descriptions of insects, it gives suggestions for an interesting hobby - insect collecting. How to collect, preserve and display them is all told here. Thus, it will prove to be a valuable science reference in the growing list of How and Why Wonder Books.
