You battle bugs every day, but did you know... The Mayans used wasps and bees as weapons, launching hives at their enemies? Napoleon Bonaparte suffered so badly from scabies he often tore apart his own skin? Or an estimated 200,000 Chinese died afterthe Japanese dropped bombs of plague-infected fleas during World War II? These tales and more appear in Wicked Bugs, a collection of stories about painful, destructive and disease-carrying critters by award-winning author Amy Stewart. Life-like etchingsby artist Briony Morrow-Cribbs give spooky appeal to featured creatures, which seem to scuttle, fly and squirm off the pages.
