This book will completely transform how the world views insects. Dino is an entomologist and evolutionary biologist based in northern Kenya.

HIDDEN CREATURES combines natural history, intriguing biology and a bit of sleuthing to reveal the fascinating, diverse and connected world of parasites. It builds on the growing interest in understanding the hidden worlds around us, and how our behaviour and decisions, and even that of entire societies, can be driven by tiny creatures.

Combining first-hand experience, field natural history and cutting-edge biology, the hidden lives of parasites and their constant evolutionary dance with their hosts will be revealed through a series of chapters focused on particular parasites. Dino draws extensively on his direct experiences as a naturalist and travels across the world from New York to Nairobi, and weaves in anecdotes from across East Africa, the Amazon, and Borneo, to public parks in London.

Each chapter begins with a gripping real-world, real life example and then highlights the details about that particular group of parasites. The chapters include encounters with parasites, some amusing, some horrifying.

HIDDEN CREATURES shows that parasites can be both loathed and loved, and that we need to pay them heed (or suffer the consequences).
