I have seen more emperor dragonflies (Anax imperator) this year than in all my previous years combined 😍. I wonder if this is recency bias or whether they're having a bumper year?

It's our last post for last month's #InsectWeek. We hope you enjoyed the whistle-stop tour of critters in our books.
One last fANTastic stop - 'Wild Places' (another title in our hi-lo Thunderbolts series).
Because who's working hard in our wild rainforests? Ants! Check out these fast facts.
We’re moving last month's #InsectWeek into the world of hi-lo fiction.
Will the insects looking for fresh meat in 'Crawlers' put you on the menu? Or will you end up in a deadly swarm, like poor Mrs Wiggins in 'Boffin Boy and the Deadly Swarm'?
(Great titles for engaging reluctant readers!)
We sank our teeth into this for #InsectWeek last month.
The title (‘Yucky Food’) is from Thunderbolts - a hi-lo reading programme for struggling/reluctant readers. Each book is on a genuinely cool topic - you get the facts, then a short fiction story.
Would you try a deep-fried tarantula?
FOUR vintage butterfly buttons for your craft projects!

Next up for last month's #InsectWeek… Ants being eaten by mushrooms?!
These guys appear in 'Mushroom Power' - a title in Reading Stars Achieve Phonics, our brand-new series of fully decodable books for older struggling/reluctant/EAL students who’re still securing phonics knowledge...
Thinking back to last month when it was #InsectWeek AKA a fab excuse to show off some of our creepy, crawly and outright fascinating insect content.
This spread is from 'We Need Bees'. A fully decodable book (part of our Reading Stars Phonics range) - it can be read independently by kids at L&S P5!
#InsectWeek may be over, but it's never too late to show the world how remarkable insects are - Take part in our #PhotographyCompetition by submitting your best insect selfie 🦋
Submit your best three insect photos for the chance to win great prizes 🔽
