Perfect for young children studying food chains in their science lessons, or for young minibeast fans, this book explores the importance of insects in food chains, from the tiny flies eaten by fish, birds, bats and amphibians, to the larger insects eaten by bigger animals, such as anteaters and badgers. Insects are an indispensible part of countless food chains. Alongside the simple text, fantastic close-up photographs show the insects at work.

The book is part of a series, The Insects that Run Our World, for children aged 6 plus. The titles are: The Pollinators, The Decomposers, The Predators and the Prey and The Helpers and the Pests.The books include information about how insects are threatened by habitat changes and pollution and how we can help them.
