Madagascar is regarded as a jewel of nature, where due to its isolated location away from all continents, a unique flora and fauna was able to develop with numerous species that are found nowhere else in the world. This includes an amazing and unique variety of butterflies - and especially moths, which are systematically presented here for the first time in detail with over 1,000 photos. All displayed animals were photographed alive, as they were captured at night by Armin Dett with the help of a light trap and then released.In cooperation with leading collections and scientists they were identified and assigned, their genus families characterized and described. The book not only make you marvel at nature's amazing creativeness through the stunning photos, but also provides an identification guide and is a valuable research tool. Furthermore, it is an important record of the current time, as climate change and habitat destruction due to clearing and population growth threaten this natural paradise in the Indian Ocean.

Om guldsmede, der fanger deres bytte i flugten med en lethed og manøvredygtighed, der burde få en jagerpilot til at blive grøn af misundelse.

Politikens Børnebøgers læs selv-serie rummer både nyskrevne tekster og bearbejdede udgaver af vores største titler, så de kan bruges til selvlæsning og læsetræning.Hos Politikens Børnebøger er nørden vores superhelt, og derfor er omdrejningspunktet for vores læs selv-serie nogle af vores absolutte yndlingsnørder, heriblandt Vicky Knudsen. I Vicky Knudsens tre nye læs selv-bøger skal vi se nærmere på nogle af de dyr, vi ellers ofte prøve at undgå. I Banditter og blod-sugere kommer vi helt tæt på parasitter, lus og andre der prøver at snylte sig til det gode liv.I Vickys optik er der dog ingen grund til at undgå hverken igler, lus, krager eller skolopendere – for de er hver især nogle helt fantastiske arter, der igennem årtusinder har forfinet deres overlevelse i naturen. Der er altså snarere grund til jubel end til panik, hvis der pludselig er en zebraedderkop på hovedpuden.
