Description & Specifications

A fantastic collection that includes stunning detailed illustrations of the most incredible insects in the world. Discover the Amazon's Titan, the "ant-saurus," breathtaking butterflies with wings resembling those of birds, and many more of the world's most extraordinary insects in this collectible volume.

Richly illustrated and written by prominent entomologists, this work reveals 50 insects (out of millions of hopeful species) that showcase the beauty and strange nature of this universe—a world so close yet so mysterious. What is the beetle that symbolized the sun for the Egyptians? Who is the “god of ugly things” of the Māori? How did Darwin predict the existence of a butterfly he had never seen?

The variety and abundance of insects influence the balance of terrestrial natural environments. They evoke both fear and fascination. Some were worshiped, others inspire technological applications, and often, their charm inspires artists and poets. That is why this book also explores how insects have inspired art, scientific innovation, and history.
