The Kama Sutra of dragonflies

Even before I finished reading the book I was already anticipating its review. A book about nature, animals and plants but also of men. A book to read and re-read a book to recommend, and to give.

I'm talking about the book by Marc Giraud, "The Kama Sutra of dragonflies", 303 pages to be read and reread, in which Giraud shows us, shows us and tells us many oh so many peculiarities of nature around us. At the very beginning, a foretaste, as a small appetizer, that will tell us later, promising fact the phrase: "And to think that there are people in the country is bored ...

I would like to bring a few examples, even if only for incuriosirvi, both for what concerns the book that as regards the nature that surrounds us ... did you know that a louse when it is still in the womb has an embryo inside her body? or that when the caterpillars eat the stem of corn plants, the plants are able to recall the wasps are able to parasitize the caterpillars? ... here is an example of communication from plant to animal!

But still ... that male blue tits smell of the nest with lavender and mint and these perfumes are constantly renewed in order to attract the females not only have the function insecticide and fungicide?

Have you ever wondered then how do the curls to mate? well, if you read the book you'll find out!

This book is also able to reflect on the nature whether in the city or the bush ...

Happy reading!
