The videotape devoted to insects is superb, however. Scroll down for other excellent sources. Adams, Jean, ed. St. Lucie Press. Basic biology of insects and practical efforts to control insect populations.
Quality is variable from chapter to chapter, but still about six good chapters.
Akre, R.D., Paulson, G.S., and Catts, E.P., 1992. Insects Did It First. Ye Galleon Press. A view of insect achievements organized by function, with chapters on bungee jumping, radar jamming, velcro, and bikinis. The Life that Lives on Man.
