Danmark er hjemsted for omkring 35.000 forskellige arter insekter og andre smådyr. I denne lille bog introducerer zoolog Lars Thomas et bredt udvalg af de arter, man finder i den danske natur, krydret med gode historier fra de små dyrs verden. I bogen, der indgår i serien af små hvide naturbøger, sammenligner Lars Thomas insekternes verden med livet på de afrikanske savanner eller i de tropiske jungler. Han fortæller begejstret om lynhurtige rovbiller, der farer rundt efter deres bytte med samme fart og vildskab som sultne løver. Om guldsmede, der fanger deres bytte i flugten med en lethed og manøvredygtighed, der burde få en jagerpilot til at blive grøn af misundelse. Og om snyltehvepse, der sniger sig ind på deres bytte og overlader dem til en skæbne, der er en gyserfilm værdig.Bogen omhandler: Lus og lopper Guldsmede og vandnymfer Græshopper Fluer Myg og stankelben Netvinger Dagsommerfugle Natsommerfugle Ørentviste og sølvkræ (sølvfisk) Vårfluer Slørvinger Døgnfluer Cikader Tæger Bladlus Springhaler Trips Barklus og boglus Bier Hvepse Snyltehvepse Myrer Galledannere Bark- og borebiller Bladbiller Blødvinger Kardinalbiller Klannere Løbebiller Mariehøns Oliebiller Rovbiller Smældere og pragtbiller Snudebiller Torbister Træbukke Ådselbiller Edderkopper Mejere Mider og mosskorpioner Orme Skolopendere og tusindben Bænkebidere Snegle

Uganda is probably the best country to visit for access to African butterflies, with a wide range of habitats and a very pleasant climate all year round. The road network is good, providing access to accommodation that is clean, with good food and a warm welcome.This second edition has 70 colour plates, 14 more than the first edition, with 96 more photographs, covering 33 more species. All photographs were taken during five visits to Uganda, between 2016 and 2020, mostly, but not exclusively, in places that visitors will go to see other animals, such as birds, chimpanzees or gorillas.The major habitats can be roughly equally divided between savannah and forest, both of which are comfortable to walk in and offer a rich selection of butterflies, with about 1270 species on the list, about double what South Africa has to offer. We have provided a brief description of the places we would recommend but you will find butterflies everywhere in Uganda.

An encounter with a spider will never be the same again …This warm-hearted book offers fascinating science and captivating storytelling to persuade readers to fall in love with—or at least tolerate—these eight-legged wonders.Eight-Legged Wonders unveils the remarkable lives of one of the most misunderstood and maligned creatures on the planet: the spider. With over 50,000 species, spiders play vital roles in our ecosystems and the vast majority are harmless to humans. With this in mind, shouldn’t we at least try to set aside our creepy-crawly associations, and cultivate a deeper appreciation for these truly wonderful beings?Eight-Legged Wonders helps us do just that. In this affectionate and surprisingly giddy ode to spiders, James O’Hanlon, a scientist and spider expert, introduces spiders that we may never have noticed before, including spiders that cosplay as ants, balloon through the air, and scuba-dive. He describes the peacock spider's colorful dances and the Portia jumping spider's cunning hunting techniques. He dispels bite concerns, highlights groundbreaking research using spiders for human benefit, and aims to shift perceptions, ultimately revealing spiders as truly remarkable beings worthy of our admiration.
