Please Don't Bite Me cover

Everyone has been bitten by a mosquito, stung by a wasp or had something itchy hiding in their hair. But how much do you actually know about these annoying insects?

Mosquitos, wasps, flies and fleas. Buzzing, biting, annoying insects that only cause trouble and itchy, painful lumps on your skin. But what if I told you there was more to these irritating insects than meets the eye? What if I told you they're much more fascinating than you might think.?Ever wondered how mosquitoes find you? Or how wasps can build nests up to 5m wide? Or how fleas can jump 150 times their own height? These questions and more are answered in this book that explores the lives of some of the most irritating buzzing, biting and stinging insects. Teaching readers that perhaps these pesky insects might not be so bad after all.
