Illustrated by
Briony Morrow-Cribbs.
In this young readers' edition of Stewart's adult title, each "wicked" bug gets multi-page coverage including habitat, characteristics, dangers, and (often) an anecdote involving human encounters. There are no source notes and almost all the bibliographic resources are at least ten years old. Still, the lively guide will appeal to budding entomologists or kids who love the gross and scary.
