Tajomstvá hmyzu
Vstúpte do sveta hmyzu, v ktorom tancujú svätojánske mušky a pavúky tkajú svoje siete.
Hmyz a jeho príbuzní, zväčša drobné živočíchy, sú všade okolo nás. Vedia sa prispôsobiť rozmanitým prostrediam, takže obývajú takmer celú planétu od najvyšších končiarov hôr cez nehostinné púšte až po rušné veľkomestá. Hmyz je mimoriadne spoločenský. Niektoré druhy sú spokojné, keď žijú samotárskym životom, ale mnohé nájdeme v spoločenstvách. Spolupracujú pri hľadaní potravy, stavbe hniezda, odstrašovaní predátorov a starostlivosti o potomstvo.
Na stranách tejto nádherne ilustrovanej knihy zistíte, ako veľmi sú tieto drobné tvory dôležité. Ohromí vás čarovná premena motýľov a dozviete sa, prečo sú bezstavovce také dôležité pre budúcnosť našej planéty. Bez nich by bol náš svet úplne iný a mnohé druhy rastlín a živočíchov by celkom vymizli. Hmyz a jeho blízki príbuzní udržiavajú svet v chode tým, že recyklujú náš odpad, sú potravou pre iné živočíchy a opeľujú rastliny.
