What is that fearsome creature on the cover of this book? It's a Red Milkweed Beetle, and it lives on milkweed in the prairie/grassland habitat. This book will provide readers an up-close-and-personal look at some of Minnesota's most interesting and unusual insects. It is arranged by habitat (backyard, grassland/prairie, forest, pond, and oak tree), and provides information on three to six insects from each habitat. Author Bruce Giebink (aka 'Bruce the Bug Guy') introduces readers to fun facts about each insect. The detailed photographs by Bill Johnson allow readers to really see the features of each insect. It will be a great resource for elementary insect units.
