Pleasure From Insects

Pleasure From Insects (1968) by Michael Tweedie – David & Charles
Purveyed proudly by Crappy Old Books – where battered spines meet beautiful minds.

Think bugs are just creepy-crawlies? Think again. In Pleasure From Insects, naturalist Michael Tweedie makes the case for six-legged fascination, guiding readers through the curious behaviours, brilliant adaptations, and surprising beauty of the insect world. First published in 1968, this charming and slightly eccentric volume blends science with wonder, inviting you to share the quiet joys of beetle-watching, butterfly-chasing, and maybe even the occasional ant-hill adventure.

Our copy? It’s seen things. The dust jacket’s torn, the pages are foxed, and someone once underlined “cockroach” with great enthusiasm—but the content still buzzes with life.

Crappy Old Books – Because joy sometimes comes with a few bite marks.

Fine condition.
