Nature

Available for over a year

The Beetles: Here, There and Everywhere Paul Evans explains his life-long fascination with beetles, from humble ladybirds to the swashbuckling diving beetles. He celebrates the myriad world of these extraordinary creatures including the slug-hunting blue ground beetle, the short-necked oil beetles whose larvae hitch rides on bees back to their nest, and an obscure Asian beetle from whom scientists are learning how to produce ultra-thin materials. [Rptd Tue 11.00am].
