About this book

Language: Japanese

These small horned insects cannot be found without a great deal of effort. An insect that captivates those who see it with its mysterious form, but not a cicada. The reason for this is that it resembles insects, plants, and other things to protect itself, and to show it is venomous. However, there are still a lot of treehoppers whose purpose of shape is unknown. In addition, species that live with ants have been found. This small book introduces the mysterious world of treehoppers and contains remarkable ecological photographs.

Summary in Japanese:
気をつけないと見つからない小さなツノゼミ。セミといいながらセミでなく、不思議なかたちで見る者をとりこにする虫。その理由は、身を守るために虫や植物、ものに似せていたり、毒があることを示したりしているから。けれども、まったく形の目的がわかっていない種がまだまだたくさんいる。さらに、アリなどと一緒に生きる種も見つかっている。そんな謎と不思議でいっぱいのツノゼミの世界に、貴重な生態写真で迫る一冊。
