Oil Beetle

“Long ago, people ground this insect into powder to make poison.” So begins this picture book on the life of the oil beetle. The beetle’s larvae, less than a millimeter long, look like poppy seeds. With plans to take up residence in a bumblebee hive, they embark on a perilous journey—not on their own power, but stuck to the bodies of various insects. Of four thousand larvae born at once, perhaps one or two will live to maturity. This book shows the life of the oil beetle up close, with magnificently detailed illustrations. <Nogami>
