Insects 2008 Calendar (illustrated ed)

Insects are everywhere we look and everywhere we cannot see.

They are ugly to some and beautiful to others but all share the same defining feature: six legs.

Insects are the most diverse group of animals on Earth, inhabiting nearly every ecosystem on the planet.

Scientists know of a million species and estimate that millions more are yet unknown.

In Insects 2008, world-renowned nature photographers create a year-long gallery of insects as rarely seen.

Insects both common and uncommon are shown in their natural habitats, from the deepest rain forests to temperate woodlands.

Informative captions shed further light on the secretive and very busy lives of insects.
