Biggest Bugs (life-size!) by George Beccaloni

From chapters.ca: Biggest Bugs Life-size is a veritable jump- off- the- page spectacle for bug enthusiasts. It is the first book to include colour photographs of 38 of the world's biggest, heaviest, longest and mightiest bugs reproduced at their actual size. Concise text gives all of the essential facts, including the bug's size, what it eats and who discovered it. Maps show where the bugs live.  The book's dramatic gatefold shows the world's longest bug - at 22-inches, the Chan's megastick is almost as long as an adult's arm. There is also the gargantuan cockroach, with the longest wingspan in the world, and the potentially pesky gigantea beefly, which is as big as a human eyeball. Even the names are big: giant hawker dragonfly, colossus earwig, giant tarantula hawk wasp, goliath bird- eating spider, Amazonian giant centipede, titan longhorn beetle.  Biggest Bugs Life- size shows the bugs as they are in real life, in brilliant colour and in enormous photographs that readers won't soon forget.
