『虫のしわざ図鑑』(NF)をおすすめします。

植物の葉や枝や実に、虫がかじった跡がないだろうか? 虫が生きるための活動の痕跡を本書では「虫のしわざ」と呼び、見た目から、あみあみ、かじかじ、すけすけ、てんてん、まきまきなど16種類に分類し、写真と文章で紹介している。たとえば葉に「あみあみ」模様を見つけたら、本書の写真と見くらべれば、何の虫が何をした跡かがわかる仕組み。また「しわざコレクション」として、卵や糞、脱け殻やクモの網などについてコラム風にまとめている。昆虫写真家ならではの、おもしろい切り口の図鑑。

Enclopedia of Insect Signs and Works

Have insects left any chew marks on leaves, branches, or fruit near you? Have you seen eggs, nests, or galls? This book divides common signs of insect activity into sixteen fun types, such as “chew-through,” “see-through,” “wrap-wrap,” “tent,” and more, and presents the activity in photos and text. The book is made so that, for example, if children find a leaf with one of the designs shown, they can compare it to the book and find out which insect was at work. Objects such as eggs, dung, husks, spiderwebs, and cocoons are also introduced in column-like format. An encylopedia-picture book with a fresh approach, created by a specialist in insect photography.
