from microbes to millipedes, camel crickets, and honeybees, the natural history of where we live

"Even when the floors are sparkling clean and the house seems silent, our domestic domain is wild beyond imagination . . . introduces us to the nearly 200,000 species living with us in our own homes, from the Egyptian meal moths in our cupboards and camel crickets in our basements to the lactobacillus lounging on our kitchen counters.
