Insects are pretty amazing, and so are the scientists who study them.  This is a book about some scientists who study bugs in different ways. The first one, Tom Turpin, is an “insect ambassador” who travels around teaching people about the usefulness of insects by doing fun things like setting up cricket spitting contests. (There is an alarming picture of him on the cover wearing giant cockroaches on his face.) Valerie Cervenka is a forensics bug scientist, working with the police to use insects to solve crimes. Steven Kutcher is a bug director for movies, making sure all the flies and spiders move at the right time and know all their lines. And Ted Schultz is finding out amazing things about farmer ants. It’s interesting to see how they work, and how they got to be bug scientists. And of course, all their interesting little friends!
