About this title

Synopsis

A beautifully illustrated dictionary of 26 insects.

Insects A to Z uses an accessible and successful format to describe 26 insects. Each page features two full-color photographs of the insect and one or two descriptive paragraphs. There are also the Latin and common names of the order, family, genus and species, as well as information on geographic distribution. Fact boxes for each entry provide at-a-glance information detailing each insect's scientific name, diet, average size and the location at which each was photographed.

The 26 insects are:

Army ants
Bumble bees
Cicadas
Darner dragonflies
Earwigs
Fireflies
Grasshoppers
Hummingbird moths
Ichneumonid wasps
Jewel beetles
Katydids
Lacewings
Mosquitoes
Net-winged midges
Owlflies
Paper wasps
Queen termites
Robber flies
Spider wasps
Tiger beetles
Urania moths
Viceroy butterflies
Weevils
Xylocopid bees
Yucca moths
Zebra clubtails.

The book has a varied audience: middle school students exploring topic ideas, younger students interested in wildlife and advanced early readers who still enjoy picture books. Accurate and up-to-date information and an informal presentation make Insects A to Z an engaging view into the world of insects.
