Zbrodnie robali. Wesz, która pokonała armię Napoleona, i inne diaboliczne insekty by Amy Stewart

Incredible and fascinating read! I find bugs and their lives very interesting, although the zombie chapter was particularly hard to read and very uncomfortable!

Bugs are cool!

Dość ciekawa pozycja, która bardzo przybliża robalowe tematy. Nie jestem fanką wszelkiego rodzaju owadów, pajęczakow i innych stawonogów, ale słuchałam audiobooka z zaciekawieniem. Jeśli nie jest się totalnie przerażony robakami to bardzo polecam. Bardzo dużo jest wiadomości na temat robali, które nie są niecodziennym zjawiskiem i warto poznać ich "styl życia" żeby wiedzieć jak z nimi w razie potrzeby walczyć. Bardzo polecam. Fajna, ale nie obowiązkowa.

This book is a encyclopedia of insects that are destructive to plants, dangerous to people, bizarre, or just frightening. Stewart's ready combination of science, history, and folklore make each little vignette of a chapter entertaining and informative.

The illustrations for the insects are what takes this book a notch up in my opinion. I find them fun and more digestible than the physical and scientific descriptions.

If you are a hypochondriac, I strongly urge you to skip this one, or you will be imagining hosting strange parasites with every itch or skin prick.

Enjoyed this very much. Would have preferred fewer bugs, with more detail on each...but it's a good jumping off point!
