In this exciting book, you can learn what makes diving beetles similar to and different from other insects. Close-up photographs and diagrams reveal extraordinary details about diving beetle bodies, both inside and out. And you can perform activities that help you find ways protect the diving beetles watery home, and understand how diving beetles breathe underwater.
