Publisher Description

Most of us think of bugs as pesky creatures we squish under our shoes or bat away with our hands. Under the microscope of Sue Hubbell's keen eye emerges an exciting world we rarely take the time to see. Author of A Country Year, Hubbell writes regularly for The New Yorker, Smithsonian, and Discover magazines, bringing to her delightful essays the practical veracity of a gentlewoman farmer, and the style and Elan of an eccentric who has found her bliss.

"I thought at first I might not make it through this one, never having been a big bug fan, but being a Sue Hubbell fan, I stuck with it. It was well worth it. I may never be the enthusiast Hubbell is, but my eyes are more open and appreciative. "
— Margaret (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

“At last, a readable book about insects! Beekeeper Hubbell discourses on familiar, if not widely loved, creatures.”
