Wicked Bugs

Wicked Bugs by Amy Stewart is a darkly humorous exploration of over one hundred of the most troublesome insects that infest, infect, and cause havoc in our lives. From painful hornets and disease-carrying flies to library-destroying bookworms and garden-damaging beetles, this book dives into the sinister side of six- and eight-legged creatures. Stewart blends wit, research, and chilling stories to reveal the extraordinary powers of these pests, while quirky sections explore topics like bugs with kinky sex lives, garden enemies, and the phobias that fuel our fear of them. Intricate illustrations by Briony Morrow-Cribbs bring these diabolical bugs to life in this captivating mix of history, science, and intrigue.
