Things you won't see other than through Alan's lens
I find this book stunning and endlessly fascinating. The chance of my seeing a headless male praying mantis still mating is remote, as is a fishing spider catching prey. But Alan has put in the long hours to capture these fleeting moments. I loved the way the photos tell stories rather than just images of critters. There's lots of sex, lots of feeding and lots of amazing closeups. I really appreciated the way every photo was labelled with its relative size - 3x or 10x ...- compared to the actual minibeast. I have spent hours with this book and know I will spend many more. I see more in each image every time I look at it. Love it!

Minibeasts Book Review
Excellent book with absolutely stunning pictures. The photo of the millipede curled up in a circle is absolutely mesmerising. If you stare at the photo long enough it almost looks like the millipede is moving, which reminds me of circular like illusions I've seen in books. This is an essential read to understand why minibeasts play such an important role on our planet and why we need to make sure species numbers do not decline for the benefit of us as humans and for the planet.
