Recs if you like Extraordinary Insects: The Fabulous, Indispensable Creatures Who Run Our World...

What every goblin needs to know

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

All about wildlife, nature, and restoring what we humans have lost. Attempting to include mostly inspirational books, but some may be harder hitting.

Nonfiction books to understand our fellow animals and, through them, ourselves

Nature, wildlife, outdoors and countryside books. Read at your leisure. Mostly non-fiction with a few fiction.

Buggy books for the nerds

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!
