    “Book Descriptions: La vespa Glyptapanteles inietta le proprie uova in un bruco, così dopo la schiusa le larve possono mangiare parte della vittima, uscir fuori dal suo corpo e controllare la mente del poveretto (in qualche modo ancora vivo) perché le protegga dai predatori. Per procurarsi un pasto, la femmina del ragno bolas produce feromoni che imitano il profumo delle femmine di falena e attira così il maschio in una ragnatela simile a un lazo vischioso. Questi sono alcuni dei curiosi animaletti che popolano il libro, un viaggio tra le più incredibili risposte dell'evoluzione ai problemi della vita quotidiana, dal cercare di accoppiarsi al procurarsi il cibo. Fatevi guidare da Matt Simon alla scoperta degli esseri che, nei modi più ingegnosi, duellando a colpi di baffi o soffocando gli squali con il muco, hanno trovato la soluzione per sopravvivere e, ovviamente, incontrare il vero amore.”
