The lives and habits of insects can be truly incredible. Some, however, are so gross you probably won't even want to read about them. Oh . . . You do? Each book in this new series is packed with truly unbelievable facts about some of the smallest members of the animal kingdom. From wasps that turn cockroaches into zombies to help them take care of their larvae, to beetles that repel predators with stinking, poisonous, boiling-hot farts.
