The Spider Winged Cupid and the Platypus
Seller: PEMBERLEY NATURAL HISTORY BOOKS BA, ABA, Iver, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: NEW. 178, 205 illus. 254x178mm. HB. NEW. . This book explores the processes of evolution of mimicry that has produced creatures that can be mistaken by predators for dead leaves, toxic beetles, scorpions, venomous snakes, lizards, frogs, bats, or insect-eating birds. A selection from hundreds of thousands of photographs shows how butterflies and moths in their natural environment deceive their enemies by their colour patterns and behaviour. The book introduces and explores an amazing world of camouflage and mimicry. For biologists, this book opens up a new dimension to our understanding of evolutionary theory. For others it will, it is hoped, intensify their desire to help preserve the precious environments in which these seemingly alien but astonishingly beautiful insects are to be found. [9781739885632].

Seller rating 3 out of 5 stars
It reveals what no museum collection can tell us about the evolution of mimicry that has produced creatures that can be mistaken by predators for dead leaves, toxic beetles, scorpions, venomous snakes, lizards, frogs, bats, or insect-eating birds. A selection from hundreds of thousands of photographic images shows how butterflies and moths in their natural environment deceive their enemies by their colour patterns and behaviour. The book introduces us to an amazing world that most naturalists and biologists never knew existed, and explains why this is so. For biologists this book opens up a new dimension to our understanding of evolutionary theory. For others it will, it is hoped, intensify their desire to help preserve the precious environments in which these seemingly alien but astonishingly beautiful insects are to be found. XXV + 171 pp., color photos, b/w illustrations, cloth bound gr. 8 [18.5 x 26 cm] [with dust jacket]. Seller Inventory # W36288
