Synopsis
This beautifully illustrated book clearly documents the many and often bizarre ways in which insects have responded to the great evolutionary imperative of "adapt or perish." With over 250 color photographs and an easy-to-read text, this book presents many observations that will both startle and inform. Each section deals with a major theme in the lives of insects:success in diversity; food and feeding; courtship and mating;; egg laying and parental care; the social option; parasitism; and defense in a hostile world.
