Features: This book carries on the philosophy and style of Fabre's The Insect World. The author attempts to engage in conversation with insects native to China from an equal perspective. Through poetic prose and dynamic photography, it tells the moving stories of insects around us (from cities to wilderness), including surprising facts about courtship, weddings, language, building homes, warfare, predation, and more, showcasing the great miracles created by these small creatures. Unique photographic perspectives directly present the visual beauty of insects to our eyes. In exploring the story of humans and insects coexisting for five thousand years, it delves into the natural image and cultural symbolism of insects, reflecting the close relationship between humans and insects, and expressing concern for the natural ecosystem and human survival environment.
