DESCRIPTION:
From the Publisher A fascinating exploration of the hidden lives of insects--with more than 200 extraordinary, larger-than-life color images made using the latest in photographic technology.
With the help of computer animation and microscopic photography, the book creates a natural history from a science-fiction angle, and shows how, in their appearance and behaviour, insects are as close to an alien life-form as anything on earth.. Linked to a BBC1 television series in October and November 1995, this book charts the development of insects over 400 million years, exploring their colonization of land, sea and air
