Natural history writer Richard Conniff's journalistic assignments have brought him in contact with invertebrates for more than 20 years--tarantulas of the upper Amazon, dragonflies in Arizona, squid in Florida, and flies on the rim of his beer glass. Here Conniff details his often hilarious encounters with the highly intelligent and eccentric people who study these creatures. 16 line drawings .
