nTake a close-up look into a world youve never noticed. n Bugs are usually so small that we hardly notice them, let alone think of them as living beings. But call upon the magnifying glass, and a shapeless jumble of legs, wings, and antennae suddenly starts staring back at us. n n About 80 percent of the Earths animals are insects. While there are millions of different species, we rarely see many of them . . . until now. Thanks to the photography of John Hallm n, who took a camera and magnified these magnificent creatures one hundred times, we can see what weve never been able to see before. n nBugs Up Close takes readers on a journey into a world rarely seen, with incredible photographs of such insects as: n n Crane flies n Yellow meadow ants n Black fungus beetles n Treehoppers n And many more n n The diversity of this insect civilization is striking and unknown to most. An insect we may never have thought twice about now looks like a creature from outer space. Fascinating and somewhat monstrous details such as compound eyes, antennae, and sharp mouth parts are visible, and with text by Lars- ke Janzon, Bugs Up Close is an amazing close look into the strange and beautiful world of insects.n
