The fascinating worlds of insects, which have outnumbered all other forms of animal life for millions of years, are vividly brought to life in this engaging and informative book. Beginning with a description of these "marvels of miniaturization." the authors show us how insects make the most of the environment, whether it is the desert, the water surface, or the forest canopy. Biologists Lorus J. Milne and Margery Milne provide some intriguing information on the hunting habits of insects, many of which ambush and assassinate. The reader is shown how insects have managed to survive for so many years, whether their strategy is to escape, hide, hoax, poison, or camouflage. A wealth of detail is provided on the wide range of messages that insects send out to find a mate -songs, fragrance, body language, or ripples in the water.
