Description
"What we do not know often appears to us as a threat – even if it is just a little bug with a hairy bottom. The bark beetle. A word that evokes emotions in the Czech Republic – fears of calamities, hatred for 'tree killers,' cries of ecological disaster. But what if we are mistaken? What if the bark beetle is not a pest, but a messenger showing us where we have gone wrong in the forest? Jiří Hulcr, a Czech biologist working in Florida, takes us on a fascinating journey into the world of one of the most misunderstood creatures on the planet. With ease, humor, and scientific precision, he shows us that bark beetles are not monsters, but masters of survival, gardeners of the forests, and sometimes even unexpected artists.
