The author of this book is the British entomologist Richard Jones, and the creatures written in the book are naturally common species in the United Kingdom, although a little different from the situation in our country, but most of them can still be matched, for those who want to learn about small insects and small animals at home, and want to avoid "close" contact with them, this book is still worth reading.
This book begins with the establishment of a permanent dwelling by humans, and tells about the creatures that have appeared in the places where humans have lived since burrowing: fleas, lice, flies, flies, bees, spiders, cockroaches, weevils, termites, beetles, mosquitoes, bed bugs, mites, geckos, ......And so on all kinds of insects, swallows, sparrows, pigeons, and other birds, cats, dogs, rats, skunks, raccoons, porcupines and other mammals, from ancient times to the present, human living places and nearby creatures have been basically mentioned in this book, from the biology and human sociology to explain the reasons for the appearance, reproduction, and disappearance of these creatures.
I believe that many people are afraid of most of the creatures mentioned in the book, and want to drive them out of their homes but have no way to do it, then, after reading this book and having a basic understanding of these "neighbors", we may find a way to deal with them or live in peace with them.
