About this book

Language: French

What do beetles eat? Why do some beetles roll a dung ball? What are "gardeners" Beetles? How do beetles communicate with each other? Why does the glow-worm emit light? How do predaceous diving beetles and whirligig beetles breathe underwater? How do beetles withstand the cold? This book answers these questions, and much more: it reveals the mores of some of the more than 20,000 species of European beetles, of which it illustrates the surprising diversity as well as the ecological importance.
- Quality and often original iconography for up-to-date observations.
- a work without equivalent amongst naturalist publications for the last thirty years.
- A text of interest to both the entomologist and the curious nature lover, which allows us to better understand the preeminent place that these insects occupy in our environment.

Summary in French:
Que mangent les Coléoptères ? Pourquoi certains scarabées roulent-ils une « pilule » de bouse ? Que sont les Coléoptères « jardiniers » ? Comment les Coléoptères communiquent-ils entre eux ? Pourquoi le Ver luisant émet-il de la lumière ? Comment les dytiques et les gyrins respirent-ils sous l’eau ? Comment les Coléoptères résistent-ils au froid ? Cet ouvrage répond à ces questions, et bien plus encore : il révèle les moeurs de certaines des quelques 20 000 espèces de Coléoptères d’Europe, dont il illustre la diversité surprenante comme l’importance écologique.
- Une iconographie de qualité et souvent originale au service d’observations actualisées.
- n ouvrage sans équivalent dans l’édition naturaliste des trente dernières années.
- Un texte intéressant l’entomologiste comme l’amateur curieux de nature, qui permet de mieux comprendre la place prééminente qu’occupent ces insectes dans notre environnement.
