Bugs In Danger: Our Vanishing Bees, Butterflies, and Beetles
ByPublisher Description
Bees are disappearing but they aren't the only insect species at risk. Populations of fireflies, butterflies, and ladybugs have all been declining in recent years, too. But why?
To appreciate what's happening to our bugs now, we need to know the history behind diverse bug populations. For example, how did certain bees evolve to pollinate specific plants perfectly or why did some farmers import ladybugs to serve as crop control? Then we can understand what is happening today to put insect populations at risk. How do human-imposed causes like land development and light pollution impact bugs? What's behind natural occurrences like the mysterious colony collapse disorder that plagues the bee populations.
Master nonfiction storyteller Mark Kurlansky shows how much bugs matter in our world...and just might inspire you to take action to save bugs in your own backyard.
