Synopsis
Spiders, scorpions, and wasps, oh my! The creepiest, crawliest, and hairiest bugs are featured in this amazing collection of 3-D photographs. Tarantulas, millipedes, flies, bumblebees, beetles, and all sorts of other tiny critters loom monstrously into view with fascinating and alarming detail in this foolproof 3-D experience. Complete with lenses innovatively bound into the hardback cover at precisely the right viewing distance (as in the very popular Beneath the Sea in 3-D), Bugs in 3-D will open your eyes to the amazing world of the little creatures around us. With informative captions and a fun glossary of terms, this new volume brings you face to face with tarantula hawks, Clemence's blue butterflies, zebra tarantulas, tussock moth caterpillars, dragon-headed katydids, and hordes of other bugs sure to delight and terrify nature lovers of all ages.

About the Author
Mark Blum began taking 3-D photographs at age fifteen. After becoming a certified scuba diver he turned his eye to photographing marine life. With scuba gear and stereo photography equipment in tow, he has traveled to the Caribbean, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Fiji to create award-winning stereoscopic photographs. He lives in Pacific Grove on Monterey Bay, California.
Reviews
YA-Insects comprise two-thirds of all the animal species on Earth. There are 200 million of them for every person, and we deal with these creatures on a daily basis. Blum takes readers into their world. Reminiscent of the handheld viewers of the 1920s, this book has a built-in stereoscope attached to the cover. In order to capture the macro images on the 44 3-D plates, the author built his own cameras. The result is absolutely breathtaking. Insects from the common housefly to exotic butterflies in full regalia will have readers wishing for more photos. Unlike the 3-D books with the blue-and-red glasses, these images truly jump off the page. The depth of field achieved is remarkable. The book is a wonderful introduction not only to the field of entomology, but also to photography. Each plate is accompanied by a brief annotation. A wonderful addition to any YA collection and a great aid in classrooms.
