Overview
Chirp like a cricket, tap like a treehopper, and whoop like a honeybee in this interactive picture book for budding entomologists—all about the biology and physics behind insect noises.
How do insects make the cool sounds they do? And why are their sounds so important? Check out the way insects use their body parts and their environment to make their distinctive noises, whether it’s the male cicada rivaling a chainsaw when it pops out its tymbals (to impress the females) or the cracker butterfly that snaps its wings like castanets (to chase away a hummingbird). Descriptive sidebars, detailed diagrams, and do-it-yourself activities—like using a pencil and comb to squeak like a stridulating ant—will feed the curiosity of aspiring scientists and kids everywhere who love all things creepy-crawly.
