Minibeasts
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 💚
One Book Many Quests
Books in this list are in at least two quests. Thus helping to earn more badges. Books will span different genres. Once I scan through all the quests, I plan to further organize the list. I am thinking of creating a seperate list and moving the books with three or more quests to the new list and keeping the two badge books in this list. Are there other ways you would organize a list this big?
🐝And You Get a Bee!🐝
Did you know that male bees explode after mating? And they also explode if they get too hot. You're welcome.
These books are about bees in some way, with cameos from their ancestor, the wasp.
(TW: for insects)
Wonderful Biology Books
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!

So you want to study ecology and evolution 🐒
Read these books first! Take a deep dive into the wonderful ecosystems that have evolved over millions of years and realise that humans are not as unique as we like to think.
It’s much cheaper than a degree (coming from a conservation and ecology major) 🤪
