Insects are not only helpful to other living things, but they are also beneficial to the earth. How Are Insects Helpful? examines the various roles that insects play: they provide food for other animals, make honey and beeswax, spin cocoons from which silk threads are spun, help pollens and seeds travel, eat garden pests and decomposing plants and animals, and dig tunnels to keep the soil fertile. After reading this book, youngsters will gain a new-found appreciation for insects.
