Grasshoppers and Mantids of the World (Of the World Series)
Used Book in Good Condition
Some varieties mimic flowers and leaves, others have cars on their front legs, and still more resemble sticks. With photographs taken from 24 countries around the world, this guide offers a visually stunning and complete account of these small but wonderful insects. You won't believe the bright coloring many types display! Investigate mating rituals -- a sometimes-dangerous adventure for certain male bugs, given the females' tendencies to devour their partners! Egg-laying and development, food and feeding, defensive strategies, and common environments also receive extensive treatment. From the "bad" (carnivorous katydids with their fierce, painful bites) to the beautiful (the gorgeous "monkey hoppers" of Peru), see who their enemies are, and how these insects interact with mankind. Unfortunately, as people encroach on their habitats, many species, including some of the most stunning ones you see here, face extinction. First-hand observations paint a vivid picture of these creatures.
