[edit] Millions of Monarchs, Bunches of Beetles
This book tells us how individuals in insect aggregations communicate (or don't), how they coordinate their efforts, how some congregate the better to mate, how some groups improve the temperature and humidity of their microenvironment, and how others safeguard themselves by amassing in such vast numbers as to confound predators.
Why insects get together - from small social groups to huge swarms - and what they get out of their associations are questions finely and fully considered in this learned and entertaining look at the group behaviour and social lives of a wide array of bugs. Gilbert Waldbauer tells us how individuals in insect aggregations communicate (or don't), and how they coordinate their efforts to improve mating, regulate temperature, or safeguard themselves (or the future of their kind) from predators. As engaging and authoritative as Waldbauer's previous books, Millions of Monarchs, Bunches of Beetles will enlighten those who know their insects well and those who wish to know them better.
