This gorgeous book introduces readers to some of the most essential creatures in the natural world: insects. Making up over 80 percent of living species on Earth, at least one million insect species dwell and thrive in a world right below our feet. In the galleries of Insectarium, readers will meet creatures such as the beautiful demoiselle and the gigantic goliath beetle, learning why and how these small creatures have such a huge impact on the world around us.
