Using Photicular technology--an innovative lenticular-based technology that uses precision sliding lenses and four-color video imagery--each image is like a 3D movie on the page, delivering a rich, fluid, immersive visual experience, allowing Bugs to zoom in on the tiny world of insects.
Watch a praying mantis diving for its pray, a house fly rubbing its fore legs, a tarantula skittering across the floor, a leaf-cutter ant hauling a giant leaf up a branch, a dung beetle pushing its ball up a hill, and more. Bugs offers readers an up-close look at bugs in motion and a window into how they move and behave. Science writer Mara Grunbaum provides an opening essay that delves into the fascinating behavior of these wonderful creatures as well as a detailed profile accompanying each image.

While working with some of the pioneers of holography, Dan created a special spot-light which was used by Soho s Museum of Holography to light holograms. It is still sold by Halo Lighting. The related field of holography led to Dan s interest in lenticular art, and in turn, after nearly a decade of research and experimentation, to the creation of his Motion Viewer, his third patent in that field and the inspiration for Safari and the other Photicular Books.
