Did you know that there are more than 200 million insects for every person on the planet? Did you also know that more than one million insects have names while another million do not? These are just a few of the fascinating facts readers will discover in this entertaining and informative book prompted by an entomologist's classroom visits and correspondence with elementary students from across the United States. More than 200 questions from children about insects are presented here, along with lucid answers. Related questions are grouped together in chapters that cover physical characteristics, anatomical features, locomotion, behavior, habitat, and human health and safety. The last chapter focuses on insect relatives, such as arachnids, crustaceans, etc. The majority of inquiries are those most commonly asked ("How many ants are there in the whole world?") while others are amusingly original ("Do insects snore?"). Directions for activities appear at the end of each chapter.
