Year of Garden Bees and Bugs
Just as birds follow yearly rhythms, so do the insects living right outside our patio doors — bees, beetles, spiders and butterflies each with their own week-by-week story to tell.
This book takes you through a full year in the insect world: the house spider rebuilding her web each morning, the ladybird's voracious appetite for aphids, and the stag beetle's spectacular maiden flight. It ventures further afield too, into the world of the lethal Sydney funnel-web spider in Australian gardens, the epic migration of the Monarch butterfly across America, and the secret life of backdoor scorpions in South Africa.
Woven through the seasonal detail is a rich thread of history and folklore — from Cardinal Wolsey's infamous fear of spiders to the surprising role flies have played in solving murders. Every creature is brought to life through beautifully commissioned illustrations, and a QR code alongside each entry links to video or audio, so you can see and hear these tiny neighbours in action.
A book for any nature lover ready to discover the true wonder of the insect world beneath their feet.
