Butterfly lifecycle 3 (pupa) (UEB Uncontracted)
The pupa has its head to the right of the page and the tail end to the left. At the bottom of the page is a scale. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. In the right centre of the image the circular shape of the covered eye can be found. Down from this is a covered antenna which goes left to the centre of the pupa. The large triangular area on the right of the pupa is where the wing is developing. The left half of the pupa is its developing abdomen with a small spiracle in the centre of each segment allowing it to breathe. Towards the top of each segment is a small decorative golden stud.
Butterfly lifecycle 4 (adult emerges from pupa) (Large Print)
This image shows an opened pupa hanging on the left and in the centre of the page is the recently emerged adult hanging onto the right side of the pupa. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. Its head is in the top centre and the tail in the bottom centre of the page. They are surrounded by an image border. The empty casing of the pupa hangs head down with the bottom half opened up. At the top centre of the page is the end of one of the adult's two antennae, it is still soft from being in the pupa and has not yet straightened and stiffened. To the left of the base of the antenna one of its two large eyes is showing on its head. Down from the head is the thorax with two of its four wrinkled wings sticking out to the right. The upper, larger fore wing has an orange band in the middle and two white spots in the top centre. The smaller hind wing is down from this and has an orange edge on the right. Three of its six multi-jointed legs are to the left of the abdomen, which it uses to hold onto the pupa. Down from this is the segmented abdomen.

Buzz: The Nature and Necessity of Bees
by Thor HansonBBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK 'Popular science at its most accessible: fun, fascinating and full of engaging pen portraits of the scientists and bee enthusiasts he meets in the course of his research' Melissa Harrison, Guardian 'A smooth and accessible account of the insects that provide a significant amount of what we eat, introducing their fascinating diversity of behaviour. A reminder of why bees are wonders that we must protect.' Matt Shardlow, BBC Wildlife Bees are like oxygen: ubiquitous, essential, and, for the most part, unseen. While we might overlook them, they lie at the heart of relationships that bind the human and natural worlds. In Buzz, the award-winning author of Feathers and The Triumph of Seeds takes us on a journey that begins 125 million years ago, when a wasp first dared to feed pollen to its young. From honeybees and bumbles to lesser-known diggers, miners, leafcutters, and masons, bees have long been central to our harvests, our mythologies, and our very existence. They’ve given us sweetness and light, the beauty of flowers, and as much as a third of the foodstuffs we eat. And, alarmingly, they are at risk of disappearing. As informative and enchanting as the waggle dance of a honeybee, Buzz shows us why all bees are wonders to celebrate and protect. Read this book and you'll never overlook them again.
The Buzz about Bees: Biology of a Superorganism
by Jürgen TautzTis book, already translated into ten languages, may at frst sight appear to be just about honeybees and their biology. It c- tains, however, a number of deeper messages related to some of the most basic and important principles of modern biology. Te bees are merely the actors that take us into the realm of phys- ology, genetics, reproduction, biophysics and learning, and that introduce us to the principles of natural selection underlying the evolution of simple to complex life forms. Te book destroys the cute notion of bees as anthropomorphic icons of busy self-sacr -i fcing individuals and presents us with the reality of the colony as an integrated and independent being—a “superorganism”—with its own, almost eerie, emergent group intelligence. We are s- prised to learn that no single bee, from queen through drone to sterile worker, has the oversight or control over the colony. - stead, through a network of integrated control systems and fee- backs, and communication between individuals, the colony - rives at consensus decisions from the bottom up through a type of “swarm intelligence”. Indeed, there are remarkable parallels between the functional organization of a swarming honeybee colony and vertebrate brains.
A Buzz in the Meadow: The Natural History Of A French Farm
by Dave GoulsonFrom the author of the Samuel Johnson Prize-shortlisted Sunday Times bestseller A Sting in the TaleIn 2003 Dave Goulson bought a derelict farm in the heart of rural France, together with 33 acres of surrounding meadow. Over the course of a decade, he created a place for his beloved bumblebees to thrive along with myriad insects of every kind. In this book you will learn how a deathwatch beetle finds its mate, about the importance of houseflies, why butterflies have spots on their wings, about dragonfly sex, bed-bugs and wasps. But it is also a wake-up call, urging us to cherish and protect life on earth in all its forms. A Buzz in the Meadow is a captivating look at our natural world and a call to arms for nature-lovers everywhere.‘Glorious’ The Times ‘Captivating’ Independent
