Pourquoi certains scarabées roulent-ils une « pilule » de bouse ? Que sont les Coléoptères « jardiniers » ? Comment les Coléoptères communiquent-ils entre eux ? Pourquoi le Ver luisant émet-il de la lumière ? Comment les dytiques et les gyrins respirent-ils sous l'eau ? Comment les Coléoptères résistent-ils au froid ?

Une iconographie de qualité et souvent originale au service d'observations actualisées. Un ouvrage sans équivalent dans l'édition naturaliste des trente dernières années.
