Australian Insects and Spiders; Amazing Facts by Patrick Honan
This Steve Parish series presents informative and amazing facts, charts and extraordinary photographs to help you learn about this outstanding continent. Learn about Australia's insects and spiders by scuttling through the remarkable facts presented and find out more about the unique animals that live so closely alongside us in our different environments. These extraordinary creatures will amaze you with the artistry of their tiny bodies and the complexity of their senses, behaviours and rich social lives.
Many people have an immediate reaction of fear and disgust towards insects and spiders, but closer investigation reveals how beautiful and truly amazing these small animals are. Within these pages you will hear of tiny blind construction workers who cooperate to build huge, high-rise, air-conditioned homes with farms inside them; you'll read about spider's silk — one of the world's strongest fibres, which is five times stronger than steel for its size; and you'll re-discover the incredible reorganisation of a caterpillar into a butterfly.
