Wicked Bugs by Amy Stuart
The book “Wicked Bugs” by Amy Stuart explains more than one kind of bug, making the book enhance understanding about a variety of bugs (Steward, 7). The book uses entomological knowledge to imply that the term bug applies to order Hemiptera insects. However, in layman’s language, the book explains that “bugs are the living things that crawl or slither” (Steward, 12). Besides, the book offers an indication that some bugs have the capacity to cause severe pain or even death in their encounters with humans.
Army Stuart indicates that even though bugs have many virtues, they have also caused several acts of untold horror, destruction, pain, and death (Steward, 17). Consequently, the bugs have facilitated the changing of human history in several ways. For instance, Napoleon’s army is one of the bugs that spread the plague that considerably afflicted people’s living conditions in the world. Consequently, Amy Stuart presents the dangerous implication of flies on human life. For instance, she indicates that the mosquito is a wicked bug from the amount of diseases it spreads to humans. The book implies that “the mosquito is the louse that conquered napoleon’s Army and other Diabolical Insects” (Steward, 22). Accordingly, Army Stuart implies “wicked bugs” to be the most painful hornet to disease-carrying flies in the world.
Consequently, the book portrays science to constitute a fascination with bugs. Thus, various experiments have been conducted in science to enhance human understanding of the world’s bugs. Accordingly, Army Stuart indicates this aspect to have to advance entomology and human understanding of the bugs (Steward, 37). Consequently, an increased understanding of the bugs has also enhanced the human capacities of handling them. The increased handling measures have led to the enhancement of sustainability of the ecosystem.
The books take a considerable concern to explain the negative implication of bugs to humans. For instance, the type of damage enhanced by the bugs is illustrated, and the way such damage is manifested. The author says, “bugs cause diseases that lead to crop failure and humans diseases, reducing the quality of life” (Steward, 97). Consequently, the book indicates measures that should be taken to reduce the negative implications arising from “wicked bugs.” For instance, humans have a mandate of controlling the inhabitation of the “wicked bugs” in human premises. Accordingly, the control measures highlighted in the book for the wicked bugs include killing them. The spraying method with chemicals has been indicated to be effective in controlling bugs from human habitats. The control of bugs from the human premises, in turn, improves the living condition of humans (Steward, 120).
