Description
This illustrated book explores the extraordinary lifestyles of ants, bees, wasps and termites. It investigates all aspects of their behaviour as social insects - from their nest-building and matriarchal habits to how their bodies work and change at each stage of the life cycle. Close-up photography unveils the secrets of this world - super-sensitive antennae, clusters of eggs and powerful stings. This text should make learning about fundamental aspects of natural history, such as the survival of the fittest or the insect's life cycle exciting and easy to absorb.
