Not so for entomologist Frank Nischk. In this funny and fascinating book, Frank reveals his love and admiration for so-called \"nasty\" creatures like cockroaches, crickets, and more. He shows us that even seemingly terrifying insects are beautiful in their own way—and essential to all life on Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrank never planned to study cockroaches. But when researching hummingbirds fell through, he switched to cockroach faeces—and soon fell in love. Cockroaches are incredible survivors, devoted parents, and adapt to almost any environment. Nischk even answers the age-old question of whether a cockroach would survive a nuclear explosion. After reading such eye-opening and warm-hearted stories, you'll think twice before stepping on one!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom cockroaches to crickets, Nischk travels to Ecuador to record cricket sounds, where he finds jungles bursting with a riot of insect life (including bullet ants whose stings are surprisingly painful).
