Description
An illustrated, with thoughtful commentary, look at the sophisticated techniques and behaviors insects have evolved to protect themselves from predators-the product of a lifetime spent in exotic locals. Illustrated throughout with high-quality color photographs taken by the author, this text for the general reader describes how certain species of bugs have protected themselves from predators by evolving into shapes and colors that conform to their habitats. Coverage includes, for example, insects that resemble leaves or sticks, those that confuse predators by adopting acrobatic positions, and others that mimic other insects or animals. Trained as a geologist, Purser has been photographing insects in their natural environment since the 1970s.
