Insects in Comics. Volume 5

The fifth volume of the popular French series "Insects in Comics" will tell not only about our six-legged contemporaries, many of whom we have already met in the previous volumes, but also about their prehistoric ancestors. And among them were real monsters: the vampire ant, the giant dragonfly meganerva, the insatiable flea pseudopulex... Brrr! Fortunately, they died out long ago... But among their descendants, who fly, run, jump and crawl among us, there are also plenty of originals, albeit not so frightening - for example, the diving fly, easily diving into a salt lake, a large wax moth, whose caterpillars eat plastic, or "explosive" ants of the genus Colobopsis, which... well, yes, explode, and literally! You will also learn how a paleoentomologist differs from an archaeoentomologist, why cockroaches flew into space, how a ladybug saved an innocent man from execution, why diatomite is dangerous for insects, how the "election" of a queen bee takes place, and why the Stenolemus predator has "musical" abilities...

And the traditional educational section at the end of the book will tell young nature lovers how to make the environment a little more attractive and safe for insects, without which all of us and the planet as a whole would have a very, very hard time.
