Wriggle and buzz : my first book of bugs / Simon Mole ; illustrated by Adam Ming.
"What was the first animal to walk on land? Or fly through the sky? The answer is a bug--and for every human on earth today, there are more than 1.4 billion of these ubiquitous creatures. From the New Zealand glowworms whose slimy "fairy lights" catch flies and gnats to the earthworms whose little tunnels bring water and air to plants, from the ladybugs keeping vegetable gardens safe from pesky pests to the common fly working as clean-up crew for the stinky stuff we'd rather not think about, this bright, bouncy introduction to bugs shows the ways that we need them more than they need us"-- Provided by publisher.
