Fifth title in the series, this is an engaging non-fiction guide to bug life, with a fantasy twist – narrated by a friendly Ladybird / Ladybug!

The fifth title in the popular Stars of Nature series, focuses on the world of bugs. 

Sumptuous and detailed illustrations have pride of place in this magical book that mixes natural history with a splash of fantasy, creating a book to be pored over time and again. Let a friendly ladybird guide you through this beautiful first guide to bug life. Learn about bug habitats – who lives where, teeny tiny bugs  (featherwing beetles) to the largest of critters (giant stick insect and goliath beetles).

Find out the amazing things that bugs can do, like flying high or disguising themselves. 

Read some beautiful bug folklore stories from around the planet, too. Sadly, many insects are under threat, so the Ladybird guide will be an ideal character to sound the alarm about pollution and climate change, and encourage children to care about all creepy crawlies.

Moira Butterfield lived and travelled in lots of different locations as a child, and still thinks our world is an endlessly exciting place to explore.

She went on to study literature and become an author of children's non-fiction and fiction. She believes there are no limits to the imagination or to the wonder of our planet and so she has written about many different subjects, from ancient treasures to future worlds via pirates, kings, jungles and sea monsters.

Moira lives in Bath, Somerset, with her family. She loves to cycle, sew and sing.
