The Life-Story of Insects
George Herbert Carpenter
An insect is a creature of transformations, and George Carpenter follows every stage. From growth and change to sucking insects, the move from water to air, and the mystery of the pupa, he lays out the life story of the six-legged. Clear, orderly, and full of wonder at metamorphosis. A fine introduction to how insects grow and remake themselves. Watch the great changes unfold.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
