This made me appreciate bug life so much more. Being Able to name the things i see in nature is my favourite thing ever and I want this book to be able to refer to again and again. The narration in this book was EVERYTHING. it so easily could have been dry but the anecdotes and comedy in the descriptions filled my whole heart. Not to mention the art. Yes.

i have always had a fascination with bugs and insects but it was very surface level. i have been enjoying this book so much. i appreciate that it is a beginners guide, that it isnt filled with jargon. the illustrations are beautifully accurate and information easy to understand.
i appreciate the added details of climate change impacts and human interference as well as first nations names.
