Monster Bugs

Monster Bugs

Have you ever looked at a bug up close? You might see horns or armor or spikes. If bugs were your size, they'd be scary.

No bug is as big as you. But some are huge for bugs. And some are fierce! This book is all about the biggest and fiercest bugs in the world.

The heaviest bug is the goliath beetle of Africa. How heavy is it? Get two eggs out of the fridge. Hold them together in your hand. That's how heavy one goliath beetle is.

But goliath beetles are gentle. Some kids even keep them as pets!

Not all beetles are gentle. The giant stag beetle is a fighter! These two beetles are fighting over a female.
