Pilný jako hmyz – Howard Jules (2024)

Come and discover the real stories about the insects around you. Invertebrates do so many things for us! They make honey, dispose of waste, help produce chocolate, and much more. In this quirky book, helpful creatures will speak to you and take you on a journey to their homelands. They can't wait to tell you about all the good things they do for you. They will show you their special skills and traits, explain why they are so important for the functioning of the ecosystem, and bring you closer to understanding why they deserve more recognition. You will meet: - carnivorous beetles, which may sound scary, but that's just a misunderstanding. In reality, they help museum workers clean old specimens and ensure that the ground isn't covered with animal corpses in nature, saving us from terrifying walks in the woods. - midges, who are the only pollinators of cocoa plants, and without them, there would be no chocolate! - wax moth caterpillars – one of the first species capable of digesting plastic, thus providing a key to reducing hard-to-decompose waste. And much, much more! Without insects, we couldn't live here, yet they are disappearing very quickly. This book will introduce young readers to a loving bunch of insects, encouraging new generations of little protectors. Support...
