There were various bugs included in this book, which was intriguing, especially when seeing spiders or other bugs that are non native to anywhere that I have been. It was also fascinating to learn that there are some bugs that look like spiders but due to certain features they wouldn’t be classified as spiders, and that there is an insect that is longer than the average cat.
