Insects in Comics. Volume 1

Insects are everywhere around us. What do they eat, how do they sleep, how do they hunt and protect themselves? Christophe Casneau and François Vodarzac decided to answer these and many other questions about insects, calling upon all their knowledge... and humor. While maintaining strict scientific accuracy, the authors made their six-legged characters laugh, cry, tell jokes, quote «Star Wars», and reminisce about World War I. Before you unfold scenes of relentless wars, mysterious transformations, sophisticated hunting methods, and equally surprising 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. And they will tell you about it themselves! Yes, one of the chapters of this book is aptly 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 have learned the language of insects so well that they were able to flawlessly translate their colorful stories into human language! And for better assimilation of the material (which, let us remind you, is based solely on authentic 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 little attention.

 But that's not all! The book concludes with a detailed lecture on a topic that is, to say the least, quite relevant for insects, such as mimicry and camouflage. It is important to note that the authors did not invent anything, and invited a specialist - an ant, who approached the matter with all responsibility and even called on his friends, real professionals: a blue butterfly, a birch moth, a dirty predatory insect, a stick insect, and many, many others. They definitely know their stuff!
