Summary

Set over a 24-hour period, meet busy honeybees, transforming caterpillars, and an army of leafcutter ants in this kids' nonfiction book about the coolest insects on Earth. Follow the lives of individual bugs as they fly, hunt, hide, and scuttle their way through their day. Bug expert Dr. Jessica L. Ware introduces characters from cicadas to butterflies in the style of a nature documentary, with a sprinkling of simple science explanations perfect for future zoologists. Witness incredible moments including: A dragonfly escaping a hungry frog. A shield bug looking after her newly-hatched babies. A gigantic comet moth with superpowered wings.
