Then add the legs. How many do spiders have? Do worms have legs?

I love how drawing bugs will help you take extra notice of them, the next you see them. The book is chock-full of info about creepy crawlers and flying insects. Learn how bugs show off, where they hide, their life cycles, and why they love our homes. Become an expert bug spotter with Yuval Zommer’s The Big Book of BugsPsst! get it here.
