Sometimes the creatures we find the most annoying or scary are the ones we need the most. This collection uncovers the little-known benefits of living things people often try to avoid or get rid of. What do these living things do to help their ecosystems? How do they affect humans? Readers explore various biology topics through the engaging text, fact boxes, and colorful photographs, including adaptations, food webs, and life cycles. Real-world examples show readers how human activities and environmental change are putting these creatures at risk, and why that's dangerous for everyone.
