Book Synopsis

Insects are essential for life as we know it. There are at least one million species of insects, together making up over 80 per cent of all living species on Earth. Around 10,000 new species of insects are discovered every year. In Insectarium learn about the secret world thriving right underneath your feet. How did insects evolve into what they are today? How do they work together and how do they defend themselves?

Explore the rooms of Insectarium and meet the beautiful demoiselle and the gigantic goliath beetle. Learn why these small creatures have such a huge impact on the world around us, and why we should be protecting them.

This latest addition to the Welcome to the Museum series will appeal to any budding entomologist or nature lover with a thirst for more knowledge.

Written by award-winning author, Dave Goulson.

Our Review Panel says...

This large-format book, Insectarium: A Museum in a Book, is a brilliant non-fiction resource that brings the world of insects into the classroom in a way that’s both educational and visually captivating.

With stunning, detailed illustrations that show insects up close, this book offers a unique opportunity to explore these tiny creatures as if visiting a museum, without ever leaving the room.

The book is divided into seven galleries, each dedicated to a different group of insects, providing children with key facts and fascinating details about their habitats, behaviours and anatomy. For KS2+ science lessons, Insectarium is a fantastic tool for introducing the diversity of the insect world with clear, engaging content that’s rich in information.
