Go Bug Watching!

Cecilia Ottenby

Do you know what a drinker or a white ermine are? No, not many do. But do you know what a bumblebee or a ladybug are? All four are actually insects. Together with other insects, crustaceans, worms, snails, bryozoans, spiders, polypods and other amazing creatures, they belong to the world’s largest group of animals, which in this book are simply referred to as bugs.

In this book we find out about five different biotopes: the garden, the meadow, the woods, the moorland, and the lake. We find out what bugs live there, what they eat, and how you can recognize them. You also get a lot of bug watching tips, for example how you should dress in yellow or purple to attract butterflies, or how to fill a clear bowl with sand and lake water, to see what’s hiding there.

Cecilia Ottenby is a garden engineer. Go Bug Watching! is her first children’s book.
