This book brings you close to eight different species of insects in astonishing motion.

Thanks to Photicular technology—an innovative lenticular technology that uses precision-sliding lenses and four-color video imagery—each image is like a 3-D movie on the page, offering a rich, fluid, and immersive visual experience, allowing Bugs to get close to the tiny world of insects.

Watch a praying mantis dive for its prey, a housefly rubbing its forelegs together, a tarantula scurrying across the ground, a leafcutter ant climbing a giant leaf up a branch, a dung beetle pushing its ball uphill, and so much more. Bugs gives readers an up-close look at insects in motion and a window into how they move and behave. Science writer Mara Grunbaum provides an introductory essay that delves into the fascinating behavior of these wondrous creatures, as well as a detailed profile accompanying each image.
