Features: "Little Kids Explore the World" is a series of books that amaze children. Realistic large photos show the world that children love to look at, think about, and explore; delicate illustrations reveal the mysteries of nature, society, and technology; simple text is perfect for parent-child reading. Dragonflies have two large compound eyes, flexible head movement, slender bodies, and two pairs of transparent wings that allow them to catch other insects while flying. Ladybugs resemble half-spheres, with colorful elytra on their backs. When encountering danger, they unfold their wings beneath the elytra and fly away. Ladybugs mostly feed on pests such as aphids. Butterflies have wide, colorful wings and enjoy flying among flowers, using their clockwork-like mouthparts to sip nectar. The larvae of butterflies are caterpillars, and their fearsome appearance is used to scare off predators.
