Can anyone suggest books that are similar to this? Nature-horror themed, like how some animals and insects can be a threat to humanity. I've been trying to look for similar books but I haven't found any, recommendations would be very much appreciated.

Not familiar with Micro. These are the best I can come up with: The Andromeda Strain, Prey, and Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton
The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham
There is the movie Arachnophobia, but I don't think there is a book.
Anything about people shrinking would be nice too, thanks for the suggestions Buck.
If you want people shrinking there is Fantastic Voyage by Asimov although this is based on the film and there is a sequel!I'm not sure it's really nature/horror but there is always Starship Troopers by Heinlein other than that I draw a blank.
What about "The Shrinking Man" by Richard Matheson? (I haven't read it)
Not so much as nature/horror as nature fighting back, but there is Phase 4 by Barry Maltzberg or The Green Brain by Frank Herbert. Both novels about insects becoming intelligent through hive minds. Though these might be pre-1970.
Food Of The Gods by H. G. Wells features the unintended gross enlargement of animals.
Also, The Birds by Daphne Du Maurier and The Shrinking Man.
