What They're Saying

Critics Review

“An excellent resource for educators such as school teachers, parents, grandparents and everyone open to learning more about the threats to all life if insects are lost from our planet.”—Ann Chilcott, The BeeListener
“If you’re human, you should read [this book]… . [Eric Eaton] shows us how we can learn more about our ubiquitous companions, and why we should. Best of all, he shares specific instructions on how to find, watch, and identify insects just about anywhere you happen to be.”—Rusty Burlew, American Bee Journal
”[An] engaging and accessible guide… . From beetles to butterflies, a whole new world of abundant, bizarre, and, dare we say, beautiful wildlife awaits your discovery.” * Audubon Magazine *
”[Eaton] reminds us of the many ways we were pulled into the world of looking at insects with joy and fascination, echoing E. O. Wilson’s Biophilia and Rachel Carson’s The Sense of Wonder.”—Nate Erwin, American Entomologist
