Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson writes playfully and accessibly about the world of insects — where they live, how they thrive, what we can learn from them, why they're so necessary — and I found myself unable to stop reading, nudging my husband awake with weird facts about the sex lives of these tiny creatures. (Did you know that the aquatic insect known as the male water boatman turns his body into a violin to attract his mates, "using his abdomen as a string and his penis as a bow"? I'm sorry to say you do now.) This book is fascinating, so fun, and perfect for when you're looking for a break from heady fiction.
