Description

Beetles come in all kinds of shapes, sizes and colours...but why? Some beetles use colours to camouflage themselves from predators or prey, others use colours and patterns for attracting mates or luring prey and some beetles are built for fighting, with pincers and spikes. Discover some of the world's strangest beetles and learn all about why they are so weird! Really Weird Animals, six books that take a close up look at some of the oddest animals on Earth. For children aged 7+.
