Insects in Comics. Volume 8

«Butterflies vs. Dragonflies» — this is how Christophe Kaznov, François Vodarzak, and Cosby, the authors of the long-loved series «Insects in Comics», titled the educational workbook of the 8th volume. But don't expect spectacular duels and criminal dealings: the title merely means that on the pages of the comic you will encounter a large number of representatives of both orders, be they dragonflies (and all with incredible names: blood-red dragonfly, compressed flat-belly, Bolton's clubtail) or butterflies (swallowtail, heliconius, creatonotus).

The authors' choice is clear: it would not be a big exaggeration to say that butterflies and dragonflies are among the most noticeable and recognizable insects. However, they will be accompanied by other six-legged heroes: the devilish mantis nicknamed «Black Flower», the marble bug, the alder leafhopper, the golden ascalaphus... and an entire gallery of incredible beetles: giraffe beetle, trilobite beetle, field horsefly! You will also learn how the wings of butterflies and ladybugs are structured, why dragonflies almost never miss their prey, at what altitude insects fly, what convergent evolution is, and much more. Welcome to the amazing and mysterious world of insects!
