Sex on Six Legs by Marlene Zuk.. They have small brains, but are big on personality, even looking after their own in ways that mimic mammalians. Funny, creepy: This is entomology you can artfully deploy at your next gathering of the two-legged. – Joel Gardner, LitSnap Editor |

"Plenty of intriguing questions to ponder as Zuk informs adults in a droll style that may also turn on younger readers. After all, entomology is still a field that can begin, as it did for her, with venturing into the yard to collect stuff in a glass jar." – Kirkus Reviews "Over nine consistently delightful chapters, Zuk pulls focus between the intriguing daily habits of ants, bees, grasshoppers, cockroaches and crickets (to name just a few of her subjects) and the broader questions that drive evolutionary biology and ecology." – The New York Times |
