BOOK REVIEW: The Wasp That Brainwashed the Caterpillar - Evolution's Most Unbelievable Solutions to Life's Biggest Problems by Matt Simon
The animal kingdom is a weird place to be. Still shrouded in mystery at times and shocked by facts with others, the inhabitants of the fauna world will confound both scientist amd reader.
For example, to find a meal, the female bolas spider releases pheromones that mimic a female moth, luring male moths into her sticky lasso web.
This is among the curious critters of the book, a jaunt through evolution's most unbelievable, most ingenious solutions to the problems of everyday life, from trying to get laid to finding food.
Join the author as he introduces us to the creatures that have it figured out, the ones that joust with their mustaches or choke sharks to death with snot, all in a wild struggle to survive and, of course, find that special someone.
Written in a humorous and raw way, it is a fascinating exploration of the awe-inspiring, weird and unsettling ingenuity of evolution.
