Rafil introduces us to many members of the bug family - not just slugs. Using the umbrellas of Disguises, Evolution, Defense, Record Breakers, and Other Relationships, we see the many different ways bugs try so hard to stay out of not just humans’ way, but also from each other. Each page is loaded with information about its bug. I like Samels’s illustrations rather than photographs, as it allows for some clever interactions and tiny details that might not be caught in a photo.
