In New Zealand's Backyard Beasts, children can discover and explore the fascinating world of creatures that live in the backyard. Creep along branches, hide under stones and flit from flower to flower as you explore the back yard with butterflies, moths, beetles, wasps, spiders and more. Did you know that chorus cicadas live underground for most of their life? That bumblebees have smelly feet? That some species of stick insect are all female? Or that earwigs don't actually crawl into ears? In New Zealand's Backyard Beasts, children (and adults) can learn to identify some of the creatures most commonly found in the backyard. The book also introduces the magical transformations of complete and incomplete metamorphosis that insects undergo in their lifecycle.
