Insects Coloring Book (Dover Nature Coloring Book) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
In terms of numbers, distribution, and long-term survival, insects are probably the most successful of all animals. Entomologists estimate there are more than two million living species, at least half of them as yet unidentified. In this volume, illustrator Jan Sovak has captured the astonishing diversity of size, shape, and coloration in the insect world in precise, carefully researched depictions of 45 species: elephant stag beetle, earwig, giant desert scorpion, walking stick, tiger beetle, desert tarantula, black widow spider, human flea, pleasing fungus beetle, and many more. By coloring these plates, colorists will not only enjoy hours of coloring fun but also learn, through informative captions, fascinating facts about insect life.

This coloring book has simple line drawings showing realistic depictions of all kinds of insects. In addition it gives great information about each one. And there is a section with a small version of the line drawing already colored in for reference.
I bought this coloring book because my 5 year old son is extremely interested in bugs and insects and loves to draw and color them. This is an extremely detailed coloring book. If you child is very detailed oriented, then this is perfect for them. If they prefer more child-like, less detailed coloring sheets (like my 3 year old daughter), then this probably isn't the right book for you. My son literally colored the entire book within a matter of days. I have since ordered other Dover coloring books and he loves them just as much. They are great for keeping him busy at restaurants, on car rides, etc. Highly reccomend!
I bought this for my 8 year old nephew for Christmas as he loves bugs and coloring, so I thought it would be a great choice. I was right! The illustrations are very realistic rather than cartoonish, which he stated he likes because they are more like "bugs he sees outside". I think it made him feel more grown up to have a non-cartoon coloring book. The pages are of good quality so he can color without worrying about the pages tearing or ripping. While I personally don't have any interest in coloring bugs, he does and he loved this coloring book!
I asked my cousin's six-year-old daughter what her favorite thing was, and she said "BUGS!" So, i'm hoping she likes this coloring book. Lots of pictures, decent quality, detailed enough adults might like coloring it too, but not too intricate for a kid. I'm quite satisfied with the quality.
Fantastic. These books are the best I have found to find pictures to use as templets or stencils for designs to paint on silk.
I bought this for my 5 year old granddaughter who was afraid of bugs. Along with the plastic critters I got her, this book cured her fear and aroused instead a interest in studying insects more closely.
Pictures are great for younger school ages as they are not too overly detailed but provide just enough detail to also supplement our insect unit in science where we could talk about and identify all the parts of insects with ease and also discuss the unique differences among insects. I use this for my K-3 kids at home.
This book is quite enjoyable to color but it is lacking some of the finer details I enjoy when coloring. It has a good variety of bugs and some backgrounds with the insects, but it has some grainy appearances in the pictures. The paper quality is fair for a coloring book. I really like a thicker paper stock to color on that will give the artist the 'pop' that makes your artwork stand out. But, as I haven't seen many insect coloring books, it's a good book for you bug lovers out there!
