Synopsis
What lives in a reindeer's nose? Glad you asked. In this sequel to *Ninety-nine Gnats, Nits, and Nibblers*, National Medal of Science winner May Berenbaum offers another classic compendium of creepy-crawly cameos. Read up on our myriad arthropodan indignities and allies as Berenbaum reveals:
Why the rove beetle gives mind-altering drugs to ants
How the snail-killing fly enjoys its escargot
Why *Piophila casei* doesn't care when you eat its larvae
What strange fate awaits a honey ant worker engorged with nectar
As lively as a fly in the buttermilk, *Ninety-nine More Maggots, Mites, and Munchers* is a who's who and what's THAT? guide to Lilliputian life-forms both familiar and obscure.
