Get up close and personal with the fascinating world of insects, thanks to Joel Sartore's extraordinary photographic portraits of insects, spiders, and other bugs for Photo Ark.

Butterflies and beetles, ants and bees, praying mantises and centipedes—creepy crawlies from around the world, plus interesting facts and fascinating science.

When the pandemic forced National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore to stay home in Nebraska instead of traveling to zoos and wildlife centers around the world, what did he do? He went outdoors and explored the world of insects.

This book showcases more than 100 species of insects, spiders, and related creatures, some exotic, but many common in fields, forests, and neighborhoods. Amazing portraits in Sartore's signature style, on a black or white background, capture these creatures' multifocal eyes, exploring antennae, and iridescent bodies in full color.

Plus, an engaging text explains the basics of insect bodies, life, and behavior, with unforgettable details. Who would have guessed that a South American butterfly emerges from a chrysalis that shines like gold? Or that a species of beetle has pincers as long as the rest of its body? Or that wolf spiders can purr?

For young budding scientists—and for the child in all of us—this collection of amazing photos and animal facts will intrigue, educate, and entertain all lovers of the tiny creatures that share our world.
