Everything You Know about Bugs (and Other Tiny Creatures) Is Wrong by Nick Crumpton
2.0
You probably have some misconceptions about bugs. Did you know that spiders aren't actually insects? Centipedes don't actually have a hundred legs. Not all bees die when they sting you, only some species and only the females. We learn about beautiful butterflies right alongside the lowly dung beetle.
I like the colorful illustrations and the way the factoids are broken up into smaller paragraphs making it easy to read.
It bothers me that this book talks about the Devonian Period and Mesozoic Era, but never says that those time periods are a theory. It states the theory as if it were fact. How can I trust a scientific book, if they don't clearly state what is fact and what is theory? Seems like very sloppy writing and it's misleading.
It seems like a lot of the information in this book doesn't have very solid scientific research as proof. Things like the theory of evolution are not sufficiently explained to support the conclusions in this book. I'm disappointed in the lack of proper information.
