Millions Of Monarchs, Bunches Of Beetles. How Bugs Find Strenght In Numbers

Why inserts get together-from small social groups to huge swarms-and what they get out of their associations are questions finely and fully considered in this learned and entertaining look at the group behavior and social lives of a wide array of bugs. Gilbert Waldbauer tells us how individuals in insert aggregations communicate (or don't), and how they coordinate their efforts to improve mating, regulate temperature, or safeguard themselves (or the future of their kind) from predators. As engaging and authoritative as Waldbauer's previous books, Millions of Monarchs, Bunches of Beetles will enlighten those who know their inserts well and those who wish to know them better.
