Translated from Kodansha's Childrens Colour Encyclopaedia. Distributed by Time-Life Books. 

At first glance, a meadow is just a meadow. But if you take the time to examine just one small patch of ground, you will discover an active population of insects all around you - moving about constantly through the air, in the grass and flowers and on the soil. Of all the animals in the world, insects are by far the most diverse, with some 800,000 named species. They have existed for millions of years, even before the ancient reptiles. Most of those insects died out as new kinds replaced them; some, like dragonflies and cockroaches, are known today.
