winged, creeping, and crawling subjects, even among its most
bug-shy readers."-- "Booklist"

biting glory."--Sam Kean "The New York Times Book Review"

and affection, you'll wish you were an entomologist! But it's never
too late to develop a love for bugs, and Buzz, Sting, Bite is the
perfect guide--filled with surprising, fascinating, and often
extremely funny stories."--Thor Hanson, author of Buzz: The Nature
and Necessity of Bees
