CREEP AND FLUTTER by Jim Arnosky


Of course butterflies are beautiful, but even beetles, ticks, and flies are given their due in the super-sized fold-out pages of Jim Arnosky’s book on all things creepy and fluttery. Illustrations that are life-size or larger show every wonderful detail of every wonderful bug.  The enlarged detail of the Tiger Swallowtail which takes up one entire flap is just one example of the vibrant colorations, but the facts that Arnosky provides about the importance of all the earth’s diverse insects and spiders are more even amazing. Share this book with the bug-lover in your family; it can be found in the Juvenile Nonfiction section at J 595.7 ARN
