We need insects to survive - for pollination - and many are essential for pest control. But insects can be trouble, spreading disease or eating crops. Then there are the 'useful' insects - that make silk or shellac, or for dyes and wax. Insect design is also an inspiration to inventors and researchers, such as those inspired by the strength of spider webs to unlock other strong materials, or investigate how mealworms are able to eat plastic. Alongside  the simple text, fantastic close-up photographs show the insects at  work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is part of a series, \u003ci\u003eThe Insects that Run Our World,\u003c\/i\u003e for children aged 6 plus.
