| book description |

Mind-Controlling Bugs is a captivating non-fiction book for children aged 6 and up that delves into the intriguing world of parasitic insects! Imagine youâ€™re about to be devoured by a predator, but oddly enough, you donâ€™t feel the urge to run away. Instead, you simply want to clean yourself. It sounds frightening, but thatâ€™s exactly what happens to a cockroach when itâ€™s stung by a jewel wasp! This unsettling insect turns its host into a real-life zombie, taking control of its mind and leading it to its doom. But not all parasites are bad â€“ some actually assist farmers in protecting their crops from pests. In this book, youâ€™ll uncover the bizarre and wonderful world of parasitic bugs. With a lively writing style, author Aidan Doyle introduces 20 different insect species with the remarkable ability to control other creatures, explaining how they do it and why. Filled with fascinating scientific facts and stunning illustrations by Astred Hicks, the skin-crawlingÂ Mind-Controlling Bugs is bound to captivate and amuse, and might even make you view cockroaches with a touch of sympathy. You never know â€“ you might end up feeling a bit sorry for them!
