Many insects, spiders, scorpions, and ticks appear to be weird, gross, mean, or scary. These creatures aren't really mean or gross; it just seems that way to us. They are only out there in nature making a living and trying to survive. However, some species do cause harm to people by bites, stings, or diseases they carry. Inside this book are stories of some of the most interesting bug creatures on earth and disgusting facts about each one. There are descriptions of deadly spiders, beetles that eat poop or squirt out stinky juices, ants that take over land, flies that eat dead things, and even bugs that kiss people goodnight. Perhaps more than anybody, kids encounter bugs--almost constantly. Therefore, it's a good idea to know something about them--which ones are harmful, which ones are weird, and which ones are just plain disgusting. For ages 7-11
