Praise for Bugs in Your Neighborhood: "Pat Stadille says early on in this whimsical new book, 'Try replacing fear with curiosity.' If you make that commitment here, you'll be rewarded with quirky oddities, charming doodles, and solid science about overlooked details in a bug’s life. Stadille's imagination shoots forth like original fireworks etching a new sky. Travel this sidewalk Serengeti, and you’ll find it impossible not to smile." —Liam O'Brien, author of Butterflies of the Bay Area (and Slightly Beyond)
