About this ebook
A team of kid entomologists learns that important discoveries can be hidden in plain sight.
Simone is an entomologist. She and her team find, identify, and study insects to better understand them. During an exciting trip to Costa Rica's lush rain forest, Simone’s team investigates some strange-looking army ants that appear to have not one but two abdomens. Is the team on the brink of discovering a new species?
