Wicked Bugs

I really enjoyed Amy Stewart's book Wicked Plants, so when I heard she had another out called Wicked Bugs I hopped on the hold list. I was not disappointed in this foray into nasty mean bugs.

This is a great book to dip into for a short period. The chapters typically last 2-3 pages so this makes great bathroom and bedtime reading. Each chapter includes a beautiful line drawing of the bug and these pictures are enough to give you the chills!

This covered a wide variety of bugs from scorpions to spiders, parasites to mosquitoes. Between this book and Discover Health TV show called Monsters Inside Me I have decided that nature isn't my friend.

Although this covers a wide variety of bugs found in the world, the scariest thing was finding out that some head lice are now becoming immune to the boxes of chemicals. So if you are infected with said lice, your best bet is vegetable oil and fine tooth comb. That just makes my head itch!

Short and fun, a great read if you are looking for something easy!

Oh, and I linking this to Evil in the Title!
