Description
We have an innate fascination with the world of hunters, parasites and nasty critters lurking to inflict themselves upon us. Bloodsuckers highlights a subject that both fascinates and horrifies readers, approaching it in an informative and entertaining way. From leeches and mosquitoes to vampire bats and lampreys (bloodsucking fish), itrsquo;s all here. This remarkable book will resonate strongly with all those who have a fascination with the dangerous, the grotesque and the plain icky.
