"Wicked Bugs
is a fascinatingly dark look at the world of wonders that buzzes,
burrows and reproduces all around us... Stewart's research is prodigious
and her writing precise, whether she's telling the tale of a
caterpillar that looks like a tiny Persian cat or more about fleas than
you ever wanted to know. Read this book and you'll always keep your
gardening gloves on...Stewart concentrates on scarily diabolical bugs,
to great effect."
Seattle Times
"Stewart
must be among the world’s most interesting cocktail party guests. Wicked Bugs is crammed with horrid details and creepy but fascinating
insect trivia...the audience will come away with new found appreciation
for the insect kingdom."
Wisconsin State Journal
