About the book
Insect Wonder
A bumblebee queen warming her flight muscles on a cool March morning. Dung beetles burying manure in midsummer heat. Woolly bear caterpillars surviving winter through cryoprotectant compounds. These are the stories of how the smallest creatures among us are quietly shaping the world around us.
Guided by Naturalists Co. founder and lifelong, joyfully obsessed student of the six-legged majority, E. M. Hall, Insect Wonder invites you to follow what insects are actually doing through winter, spring, summer, and autumn.
Organized seasonally with a combination of mindful and scientific language, Insect Wonder features 70 profiles of common, field-observable insects across soil, air, water, plant, carrion, nocturnal, and social systems that are present in both the United Kingdom and North America, including:
- Woolly bear caterpillar (Pyrrharctia isabella)
- Seven-spot ladybird (Coccinella septempunctata)
- European honey bee (Apis mellifera)
- Peacock butterfly (Aglais io)
- Sycamore aphid (Drepanosiphum platanoidis)
- Pavement ant (Tetramorium immigrans)
- Peppered moth (Biston betularia)
- Blue-tailed damselfly (Ischnura elegans)
- And many more!
Not an identification guide but a beautiful rendering that encourages discovery and collecting, the book features vintage-inspired scientific illustrations designed to clarify rather than decorate. The illustrations are explanatory and durable, making for a lasting illustrated hardcover to return to time and again for both insight and reference.
With a seasonal structure that mirrors how naturalists experience the year, Insect Wonder anchors each chapter in a specific, observable insect moment, and is perfect for:
- Nature-curious readers who want a better understanding of what they are already seeing outdoors, whether in a backyard, park, or neighborhood sidewalk crack.
- Readers of accessible natural history who enjoy clear, grounded science writing without technical barriers.
- Home gardeners interested in pollinators and soil health, especially those engaged in native planting and sustainable practices.
- Native plant enthusiasts looking to deepen their understanding of beneficial insects and seasonal cycles.
- Educators building ecological literacy, including homeschool families and informal science educators.
Set out with this captivating guide to discover the wonders unfolding all around you.
