Recs if you like Insectopolis: A Natural History...

A collection of non-fiction books that touch upon the stories of the natural world, and all the people who live among it. (Or, as an astronomer once said: "I love stories, and the story of our universe is the grandest one we have") Always open to suggestions!

A nonfiction list dedicated to learning about the most numerous animals on our planet - the tiny and mighty minibeasts!

"Minibeasts" is an informal term used to describe small invertebrates - this includes, but is absolutely not limited to, insects, arachnids, snails, slugs, and worms! Would you call it a creepy crawly or a bug? Then it's probably a minibeast!

List name has been altered to differentiate it from the quest. I'll likely remove the list soon, as a heads up 💚

Non-fiction and fiction books with moths in them. That's it. That's the list. PS: Why isn't there a moth emoji already?!?

Memoirs, histories, guidebooks. Real life narratives told through creative expression.

This list is made possible by all the 🫛🐝’ers who came through for me during a terrible breakup. I asked the club for joyful nonfiction recs because fiction is too emotionally fraught for what I’m going through.

I hope these books can bring you some hope, relief, or perspective. Together, we can get through this 😊

I love insects and I hope after reading these books, you will too!

A list of books for the natural science nerds! Selections include topics on ecology, evolution, environmental science, environmental biology, and the folks who make the science happen!

Nonfiction graphic (comic) books aimed at teens or adults. Learn something with visuals, not just texts. Who says graphic novels are just for kids or don't cover more mature topics?

Learning things with pictures ✨ this includes memoirs. Please let me know if you have any more suggestions 💕

If you love any type of documentary that has to do with the beautiful planet we live on, then this list is for you. Books that explore nature and all the creatures big and small that live there from all corners and biomes of the world. Inspired by the 100th birthday of Sir David Attenborough. I happily accept recommendations.

The perfect biology book blends informative science and an interesting writing style. This ideal blend is hard to find and I’m thankful every time. I hope you like these, too!

Books with a very satisfying or wholly unexpected plot twist (or even better, more than one), even if it made you cry, angry, feel creeped out, or cause you to throw your book across the room. Recommendations welcome!

Not all insects make us to go “ooooo” and “ahhhh” with glee and fascination. From spiders to wasps, cockroaches to scorpions, they can instill the heebie jeebies on sight, but are they actually worthy of our fears or simply misunderstood?

This list compiles some reads to help us better understand these creatures which, in spite of our bruised egos at being scared of something much smaller than us, deserve our respect for their importance in myriad ecosystems. Recommendations always welcome!
