A YEAR OF GARDEN BEES AND BUGS - DOMINIC COUZEN...

A fascinating journey into the secret life of insects  with QR codes linked to videos that
bring every creature to life. Just as birds have yearly rhythms  so do bees  beetles 
butterflies and other insects. Wildlife experts Dominic Couzens and Gail Ashton discover 52
minibeasts from around the world. They tell the story of what is happening week-by-week in the
insect world  in our own backyards  window boxes and in hidden corners of our homes. From the
daily grind of the house spider building a new web each morning  to the vast appetites of
ladybirds  which can devour hundreds of aphids a day  and the glory of the Stag beetle's maiden
flight. We delve into the world of the lethal Sydney funnelweb spider in Australian gardens 
the migratory mission of the Monarch butterfly in America and the life of the backdoor
scorpions in South Africa. In among the seasonal behaviour  the authors have woven history and
folklore. These brilliant stories are complemented by wonderful illustrations by Lesley
Buckingham that bring out the beauty of the entomological world. A QR code for each entry takes
you to a video file to further explore the habits of these intriguing creatures. Revealing the
true wonder of our insect neighbours  this book will appeal to all nature lovers.
