Its summertime, and the living is.....full of bugs! We are surrounded by a myriad of wonderful little critters and creatures, and if you want to know what these creepy crawlies are then I highly recommend my own book...written by a layman, for the layman. With a LOT of help, from bug experts mind you! FYI, my print run is running out...so there are limited quantities available, so be sure to get your order in ASAP. Whilst I am out of Hong Kong I am pleased to confirm that a local NGO Encompass is fulfilling the remaining copies, and 50% of the proceeds goes to supporting their great work.

This book is for anyone who has ever said, or heard “Hey, what's this bug?” The ultimate guide for anyone who wants to know more about the many tiny creatures we discover on our walks in Hong Kong. What on earth is that? What does it eat? Is it poisonous? Can it sting? Does it lay eggs? Where can I find more? Is it a male or a female? Are they rare? This book attempts to answer all those questions… and more! Using amazing photographic images and explaining in terms we can all understand - combined with rigorous science and expert help - Ferguson plunges us into the tiny, wondrous and fascinating world of Hong Kong bugs; sharing their secrets with his characteristic insight and unique humour.
