Customer Reviews of Millions of Monarchs, Bunches of Beetles: How Bugs Find Strength in Numbers
Readable, fascinating, with the right amount of information This is a survey book--It has a chapter on each of several types of insects that have social or clustering behavior, but aren't the classic social insects, such as ants or bees. Some of the insects covered are butterflies, notably monarchs, locusts, and ladybugs. There is a fair, but not overwhelming, amount of information on each type of insect. The style is highly readable. I liked the book so much, I went and bought other of Waldbauer's books. Highly recommmended!
a neat book
A pretty neat book. It gives you interesting insights into the insect world without being too techy. I didn't read it cover to cover but instead I pick it up when I'm wondering about an insect. It has insects that you'd encounter in everyday life which is helpful
Good Natural History Book
The theme of this book is insect sociality but the author, a distinguished entomologist, does not discuss well known eusocial insects like bees and termites. The concentration is on the lesser known aspects of social behavior in feeding, mating, predation, avoidance of predation, etc., among many insect species. Prof. Waldbauer is a good writer who attacks his subjects with enthusiasm. Underlying all examples in this book is the adaptive importance of even primitive social behavior. The book is organized into a number of relatively short chapters on different aspects of insect sociality, which makes for quick reading.
