      And in this wacky book, these helpful critters are taking you on a grand tour of their homes! They just can’t wait to tell you about all the good they do. They’ll show you the specialskillsandfeatures they have, explain why they’re so importanttotheecosystem, and generally make their case for why they deserve a little more credit.
       
      You’ll meet:
       
      • the flesh-eatingbeetles who may sound creepy but are just misunderstood. In fact, they help museum staff clean up old specimens, and out in the wild, they make sure the world’s forest floors aren’t littered with dead creatures, saving us from very gruesome woodland walks
      • the midges who are one of the only bugs able to pollinate cacao plants, and withoutwhomtherewouldbenochocolate!
      • the wax mothcaterpillars—one of the firstspeciesknown to be able to safely digestplastic, who could hold the key to reducing this tough-to-break-down material
       
      And many, many more!
