100 Caterpillars
Jeffrey C. Miller
Daniel H. Janzen
Winifred Hallwachs
Gathered by biologists in the tropical forests of Costa Rica, over 100 large-format photographs of caterpillars document the dizzying variety of shapes, vivid colors, and cryptic markings among these species. The pictures are accompanied by capsule species accounts and magnificent images of the adult butterfly or moth. Throughout, the authors convey an intimate sense of these creatures by focusing on how their features figure in their behavior and ecology, and on the beauty of nature in this life stage.

The Earwig's Tail
May R. Berenbaum
Throughout the Middle Ages, enormously popular bestiaries presented people with descriptions of rare and unusual animals, typically paired with a moral or religious lesson. In The Earwig’s Tail, entomologist May Berenbaum and illustrator Jay Hosler draw on the powerful cultural symbols of these antiquated books to create a beautiful and witty bestiary of the insect world.
