Bug Faces - a WonderKorner Review

 

Bug Faces
by Darlyne A. Murawski
National Geographic Society
If you were asked to describe your best friend, you'd probably start with their face - eye color, hair, skin tone, smile. Now, if you were to describe your favorite insect, you might not go into such detail. All that will change, though, once you read Bug Faces.
 
Author and photographer Darlyne A. Murawski has captured an incredible collection of bugs up close 'n personal. This award-winning photographer from Massachusetts has traveled the world to photograph tiny creatures in their natural habitat. Bug Faces invites readers to eyeball bumblebees, weevils, spiders, and more.
 
Do you know why the deer fly's eyes appear green and red, or where the jaws of a daddy longlegs spider are located? What's that "grill" on the middle of a cicada's face, anyway? Do grasshoppers have teeth?
 
Find out the answers to these pressing questions - and more. This is a beautifully designed hardback book, an amazing source of buggy information for kids. I suspect it will end up on grownups' coffee tables, too.
