About this item

Take a close-up look into a world youve never noticed. Bugs are usually so small that we hardly notice them, let alone think of them as living beings. But call upon the magnifying glass, and a shapeless jumble of legs, wings, and antennae suddenly start staring back at us. About percent of the Earths animals are insects. While there are millions of different species, we rarely see many of them . . . until now. Thanks to the photography of John Hallmn, who took a camera and magnified these magnificent creatures one hundred times, we can see what weve never been able to see before. Bugs Up Close takes readers on a journey into a world rarely seen, with incredible photographs of such insects as Crane fliesYellow meadow antsBlack fungus beetlesTreehoppersAnd many more! The diversity of this insect civilization is striking and unknown to most.
