Description

Join scientist Doug Emlen on his quest to find out why an elusive type of beetle grows weapons that are enormous for its body size. What does it take to be a scientist in the field?

Packed with color photographs, extensive back matter, and entertaining anecdotes, this book will make beetle fans out of all its young readers.
