Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of plants that have attached to them insects in the form of roots. Since the early 18th century, writers have shone a light on the existence of these unusual plant-insect formations known as Entomophytes. The author delves further into these unique natural pairings, providing readers with insights into the position they occupy in the System of Entomology. Throughout its chapters, the book delves into the habits of these insects, exploring how and why they become the bases of the singular parasitical plants or fungi by which they are infested. This exploration sheds new light on the complex relationship between insects and plants, as well as how insects can become the catalysts for the growth of these curious plant forms.
