Sinossi
The clear skull markings on the thorax of the large and impressive Death's Head Hawk-moth are truly fascinating, often perceived as a threat or leading to superstitious and mythological beliefs. Here the author, an authority in mimicry, discusses why we are so intrigued by these markings but also explains how other animals may perceive its form and behaviour. This moth has evolved to deceive its main predators, especially birds and bats, and to rob bees of their honey without getting stung, again by deceiving them of its true nature, with acoustic, visual and chemical signals in play. It is able to do this because of the obvious, but usually overlooked, fact that other animals live in a different sensory world to us, i.e. their perceptions are different.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The clear skull markings on the thorax of the large and impressive Death's Head Hawk-moth are truly fascinating, often perceived as a threat or leading to superstitious and mythological beliefs. Here the author, an authority in mimicry, discusses why we are so intrigued by these markings but also explains how other animals may perceive its form and behaviour. This moth has evolved to deceive its main predators, especially birds and bats, and to rob bees of their honey without getting stung, again by deceiving them of its true nature, with acoustic, visual and chemical signals in play. It is able to do this because of the obvious, but usually overlooked, fact that other animals live in a different sensory world to us, i.e. their perceptions are different. Philip Howse, an expert on mimicry, takes us on a tour de force of the biology and rich folklore of this intriguing large insect. The death's head hawk-moth steals honey from hives unnoticed by bees and also deceives its predators. It can be perceived as a threat and creates superstitions due to its sinister-looking skull markings on its thorax. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9781908241627
