    In this classic of natural history, National Medal of Science winner May Berenbaum weaves a web of spellbinding portraits that acquaints readers with the multitudes sharing our world and, alas, our kitchen. Go small or go home as Berenbaum reveals:
    Why the "Jesus bug" can walk on water
    How the katydid’s nighttime noise inspired romantic poetry
    The trapping prowess of the hungry antlion
    That disgusting thing chiggers do to eat your skin
     
    A witty and educational guide that’s as accessible as the container of flour you should have closed more tightly, Ninety-nine Gnats, Nits, and Nibblers is the fascinating story of our million closest neighbors.
