Features: Science can sometimes be incredibly mysterious. But what I'm referring to isn't your science homework—I mean science itself? If you ask a scientist what they do all day, you might get a bunch of incomprehensible jargon. This can sound truly baffling and tedious, making you imagine science as a group of white-coated experts working tirelessly in a lab to invent technical devices. In reality, science isn't far from us, and it appears around us at all times, deeply intertwined with our daily lives. What insects hide under your pillow while you sleep? What exactly do snails do with their slime? How do those pesky insects sneakily drink your blood? Go undercover into the notorious families of insects, explore the disgusting collections of eccentric scientists, and try to uncover the cunning disguises of tricky insects. This book reveals the hidden hiding spots of venomous creatures, helps you uncover the sneaky "modus operandi" of insects, and assists you in identifying the insect agents lurking around you.
