Ladybug Spotter

"It was a ladybug. But it was the strangest ladybug Silvermist had ever seen. It was milky white from tip to tip. Its spots were difficult to see. They were white too, just a shade darker than the rest of the ladybug—and there must have been a dozen of them!" —SILVERMIST AND THE LADYBUG CURSE by Gail Herman

"If the Flying Cattleheart was unlike other ranches, Uncle Autry was equally unlike other ranchers. There wasn't a cow, sheep, or horse on Autry's land. Autry O'Connell was an insect wrangler." —SCUMBLE by Ingrid Law

Empty Hive

"Mr. Deaver pulled one of the panels out. It was one of the frames where the bees produced their honey in a comb made out of wax. There wasn't a single bee on it. And there wasn't a single bee flying out of the hive." —DARIUS BELL AND THE CRYSTAL BEES by Odo Hirsch

As Beetles Go

"Marvin and his relatives were beetles. They had shiny black shells, six legs, and excellent night vision. They were medium-sized, as beetles go, not much larger than a raisin. But they were very agile: good at climbing walls, scurrying across countertops, and slipping under closed doors." —MASTERPIECE by Elise Broach
