5.0

A beautiful and informative book, How Insects Work is a companion piece to Taylor's [b:How Birds Work: An Illustrated Guide|53046445|How Birds Work An Illustrated Guide to the Wonders of Form and Function—from Bones to Beak|Marianne Taylor|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1579462516l/53046445._SX50_SY75_.jpg|71323003]. This volume covers a wealth of information about insects from appendages, wings and antennae, to chemoreception, and other senses, to reproduction, parthenogenesis, metamorphosis and instar phases. Lavishly illustrated with examples, it's an excellent book for middle grade and older children who are interested in learning about how insects actually function and how their forms have evolved to facilitate those functions. Another beautiful installment in this short series!
