Insects in Comics. Volume 1

Insects are everywhere around us. What do they eat, how do they sleep, how do they hunt and defend themselves? Christophe Casnove and François Vodarzak decided to answer these and many other questions about insects, calling upon all their knowledge... and humor. Maintaining strict scientific accuracy, the authors made their six-legged characters laugh, cry, tell jokes, quote «Star Wars», and recall World War I. Before you unfold pictures of ruthless wars, mysterious transformations, sophisticated hunting methods, and equally amazing defense techniques.

 You will learn why fireflies glow, how many spots are on a ladybug’s back, and what a stick insect is afraid of. Moreover, they will tell you themselves! Yes, one of the chapters of this book is titled: «Do insects speak?» What a question – of course they do! Though in their own way... Fortunately, over the years of working on this series, the authors managed to learn the language of insects so well that they could flawlessly translate their colorful stories into human language! And for better comprehension of the material (which, let us remind you, is based exclusively on real facts), there is a test at the end of the book, all the answers to which can be found on its pages - just pay a bit of attention.

 But that's not all! The book concludes with a detailed lecture on a topic that is quite pressing for insects, such as mimicry and camouflage. It is important to note that the authors did not concoct any nonsense and invited an expert - an ant, who approached the matter with full responsibility and even called upon his friends, real professionals: a blue butterfly, a birch moth, a dirty predator, a leaf insect, and many, many others. Well, they certainly know their stuff!
