Hardback. Condition: New. The clear skull markings on the thorax of the large and impressive Death's Head Hawk-moth are truly fascinating, often perceived as a threat or leading to superstitious and mythological beliefs. Here the author, an authority in mimicry, discusses why we are so intrigued by these markings but also explai…ns how other animals may perceive its form and behaviour. This moth has evolved to deceive its main predators, especially birds and bats, and to rob bees of their honey without getting stung, again by deceiving them of its true nature, with acoustic, visual and chemical signals in play. It is able to do this because of the obvious, but usually overlooked, fact that other animals live in a different sensory world to us, i.e. their perceptions are different.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The clear skull markings on the thorax of the large and impressive Death's Head Hawk-moth are truly fascinating, often perceived as a threat or leading to superstitious and mythological beliefs. Here the author, an authority in mimicry, discusses why we are so intrigued by these markings but… also explains how other animals may perceive its form and behaviour. This moth has evolved to deceive its main predators, especially birds and bats, and to rob bees of their honey without getting stung, again by deceiving them of its true nature, with acoustic, visual and chemical signals in play. It is able to do this because of the obvious, but usually overlooked, fact that other animals live in a different sensory world to us, i.e. their perceptions are different. Philip Howse, an expert on mimicry, takes us on a tour de force of the biology and rich folklore of this intriguing large insect. The death's head hawk-moth steals honey from hives unnoticed by bees and also deceives its predators. It can be perceived as a threat and creates superstitions due to its sinister-looking skull markings on its thorax. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. People have always marvelled at the colours, patterns and designs on the wings of butterflies and moths, but there has been little attempt to decode them or recognise any great significance in them. Philip Howse explains how these living tapestries have been designed by evolution to protect insec…ts from their principal predators, which include birds, lizards, monkeys. These insectivores, it is argued, detect their prey by perceiving small details of shape and colour rather than the 'whole picture' of the insect. With the possible exception of some people with autism, we generally overlook such emblematic features. If we look at the detail of a living butterfly in the way that a bird sees it from many different angles and perspectives, surprising images reveal themselves. There are features of owl eyes, snake heads, caterpillars, lizards, wasps, scorpions, birds' beaks and feathers to be found there. Many butterflies and moths have bizarre combinations of images on their wings and bodies which prompt comparison with the works of art of the surrealists, such as Magritte and Dali. They have a similar effect: to unsettle the way in which things are normally perceived: to confuse and shock. The signs and symbols that appear to be so important in the animal world: details of eyes, snakes, birds, etc., are archetypal symbols in ours, but for us they carry very complex meanings. Our ability to recognise these potent symbols of danger and threat goes back to the beginnings of the human race. Over the millennia, they have been incorporated into mythologies and transformed into the Mother Goddesses of many cultures from those of Palaeolithic man to the Ancient Greeks, Egyptians and the Aztecs. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
