This was an informative book about insects, however I got it for the alpacas stated in the title. This book is only about insects and no other animal. The information was good, narrator was educational, but the book kept repeating the same information. I enjoyed the case studies but there were only two of them and they were short. Maybe this book written through AI is what to expect today.
