Introduction
Each animal is small enough to hold in your hand (or even perch on your finger), but photographed in eye-popping detail by Igor Siwanowicz – a scientist who is a rising star in the world of macrophotography and wins rave reviews for his online gallery of truly wild portraits.
From praying mantises pouncing on their prey to fan-toed geckos with an incredible grip, meet the natural born killers – and survivors – that fascinate Igor and burst out of large-format double pages designed to make the most of macro. As well as these star portraits, special features look at how tiny animals live, their unique adaptations, the habitats they've conquered, and why they matter to the rest of us.
A foreword from Igor, field notes on how he works, a glossary, and an index make this beautiful book a riveting read and an invaluable source of information for readers of all ages to pore over and return to again and again.
