“Butterflies vs. Dragonflies” — that is how Christophe Cazenove, François Vodarzac, and Cosby, the authors of the series “Insects in Comics” that has long been beloved by our readers, titled the educational notebook for the 8th volume. Just don’t expect spectacular duels or criminal showdowns: the title simply means that on the pages of the comic, you will encounter a large number of representatives from both orders, whether they be dragonflies (all of whom, coincidentally, have incredible names: the ruddy darter, the keeled skimmer, the golden-ringed dragonfly) or butterflies (the swallowtail, the heliconian, the creatonotos).
The authors' choice is understandable: it would not be much of an exaggeration to say that butterflies and dragonflies are among the most noticeable and recognizable insects. However, they will be joined by other worthy six-legged characters: a devil’s flower mantis, a brown marmorated stink bug, an alder spittlebug, an owlfly... and a whole gallery of incredible beetles: the giraffe weevil, the trilobite beetle, the green tiger beetle! You will also learn how the wings of butterflies and ladybugs are structured, why a dragonfly almost never misses its prey, at what altitude insects fly, what convergent evolution is, and much more. Welcome to the amazing and mysterious world of insects!
