Ugly Bugs (Paperback, New ed) ㅣ Horrible Science 18
닉 아놀드 지음, 토니 드 솔스 그림 / Scholastic / 2008년 2월
평점 : 
벌레들은 인간과는 전혀 다른 방법의 진화를 택했다. 크기는 작고 미약할지라도, 수를 대폭 늘리거나 다양한 기능들을 이용하기로. 우리는 벌레만 보면 죽이기 위해 애를 쓰지만, 가장 죽이기 힘든 것들중의 하나가 바로 벌레들일 것이다. 물론 이는 종류에 따라서 다르게 적용된다. 산업재해에 약한 곤충들도 얼마든지 삶의 터전을 잃고 죽어갈 수 있다. 그러나 우리가 살펴볼 것은, 도시에 살면서 적응한, 우리가 끔찍하다고 생각하는 해충들의 이야기다.
I cannot understand why people hate earthworms. I can't distinguish which is earthworm or fallen twigs. We should protect them, because they are important for making the ground fresh. They make holes and these holes give oxygen to the ground. However, earthworms living in cities can be really hard because most of the roads are packed by concretes. I think they can't make holes at concretes.
Cockroaches are the most disgusting bugs, I think. They are all over our house, and carry harmful bacterias and diseases food by food. If we try to kill them, than they would make more kids and it won't help to reduce the number of them. People say that they would survive when every people die by something great disaster.
Many people think the bugs are ugly and harmful, but it could be nothing. The small things actually cannot give harms to the people. The criminals who want to kill people can be more dangerous than them.
