>>> Download Never Marry a Cowboy eBook <<< From Aquatic and semiaquatic insects far outnumber the other organisms that share their freshwater habitat, yet most of us are unaware of them. Waldbauer, a retired professor of entomology, hopes to rectify this ignorance as he explores the always-interesting lives of aquatic insects. In the same conversational style that he has used in previous works (Millions of Monarchs, Bunches of Beetles, 2000, and What Good Are Bugs? 2003), he presents the fascinating array of adaptations, the diverse forms, and the myriad ways of life of these water dwellers. For instance, tiny aquatic mites live in water-filled tree holes, hitching a ride to new trees on the legs of hole-dwelling hover flies. Brine flies were so abundant in the Great Salt Lake that Indians would gather their pupae from the shoreline to use as food. And caddis fly larvae construct cases of leaves or small twigs to live in, that not only camouflage them but also protect these soft larvae from predators. While telling of the hidden lives of these insects, Waldbauer also reveals evolutionary and ecological details, moving the book beyond the "gee whiz" level. Readers will be inspired to take a closer look at their favorite pond or stream. Nancy BentCopyright ?© American Library Association.
