Heimische Insekten ganz nah

Insects are as important as they are endangered, as their habitats are slowly disappearing. It should be a concern for all of us to counteract this. However, to achieve this, we must first get to know them. Many are very small and often escape our direct observation. Our sympathy for them is also distributed unevenly. Some species, like butterflies, wild bees, and bumblebees, are well-liked, while others are viewed critically or even rejected.

Hannelore Hoch addresses this issue with her new book, introducing us to 111 common native and easily recognizable insect species that can be encountered in our home environment. Supported by fascinating close-up photographs, she brings us closer to their full beauty, highlights their distinctive features, and provides information about their distribution and way of life – including the role they play in our ecosystem.

In short, this is a book that offers us a glimpse into the equally wonderful and miraculous world of the small creatures around us, bringing them closer to us and helping us contribute to their preservation. A book that you won't want to put down anytime soon!.
