This book is for anyone who has ever said, or heard “Hey, what's this bug?” The ultimate guide for anyone who wants to know more about the many tiny creatures we discover on our walks in Hong Kong. What on earth is that? What does it eat? Is it poisonous? Can it sting? Does it lay eggs? Where can I find more? Is it a male or a female? Are they rare? This book attempts to answer all those questions… and more! Using amazing photographic images and explaining in terms we can all understand - combined with rigorous science and expert help - Ferguson plunges us into the tiny, wondrous and fascinating world of Hong Kong bugs; sharing their secrets with his characteristic insight and unique humour.
