Description from the publisher
What kind of insects wrestle with rivals?
Which bugs do back flips?
Which ones dig funnel-shaped traps for their prey, and will do that on your kitchen table?
Pet Bugs tells you how to find and care for crickets, mantises, click beetles and lots of other insects. Kneidel also gives you a close-up view of how these insects fight, build homes, mate, communicate, and protect themselves. Why do some butterflies chase Frisbees? What survival value does strange coloration have, and why? Illustrations throughout the book bring the miniature world of nature to life for kids.
