Science Quest: Insects is an immersive encounter with more than 20 representatives of a group that dominates the animal kingdom by sheer number—more than half of all animal species are insect species. Do you know which insect babies look nothing like their parents? Or why treehoppers have a special relationship with ants? Which insects are dead ringers for flowers, leaves, or twigs? Find out the buzz about bees. Marvel at a master aviator, the monarch butterfly. Even the despicable cockroach might earn your grudging admiration. From pests to pets, from the commonplace to the bizarre, experience the fascinating world of insects as never before.

The Science Quest series uses engaging stories in comic form to present concepts from the latest science education syllabus and beyond. The content comprises a variety of scenarios to showcase real-life relevance. The series includes feature articles with amazing facts and photographs to enrich the reader’s experience. Science Quest is a collaborative publishing project between DC Canada Education Publishing and Singapore World Science Education. We share a belief in the wonders of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education and knowledge, and its power to grow young minds. We assembled scientists, academics, field experts, and writers to make STEM accessible and engaging for children with diverse interests. Unlock the mysteries of science, one quest at a time!
