In Insectopolis, readers dive into a world where ants, beetles, bees and butterflies visit a library exhibition that displays their stories and humanity’s connection to them. Charming, informative and dazzlingly illustrated, award-winning cartoonist Peter Kuper guides us through the 400-million-year history of insects and introduces us to the remarkable entomologists and naturalists who have studied them.
