BUG BUTTS

Book ID/图书代码： 04090510B40274

English Summary/英文概要： From blowing bubbles to shooting poop, the world s insects do amazing things with their butts. Discover the wild and weird ways insects use their butts to avoid predators. Spittlebugs blow bubbles from their butts and hide under them, while some caterpillars shoot their poop far from their bodies to throw poop-searching wasps off their trail. Ants and beetles spray acid from their butts into the faces of predators, while some caterpillars and larvae build hide-outs with their poop to keep predators away. Insects also use pheromones from their butts to communicate with friends, relatives, and enemies. Still other insects say thank you for protecting me by sharing their high-sugar poop. And speaking of poop, some termites and roaches feed their children their poop to give them the microorganisms they will need to help digest wood. Illustrated by a PhD biologist in a playful yet scientifically accurate style and tech edited by a PhD entomologist, Bug Butts combines the best of real science and real fun. Includes glossary, index, and anatomy appendix.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 从吹泡泡到喷大便，动物界的昆虫有着各种各样的神奇屁股。我们能从书中读到昆虫如何用屁股来抵御敌人。沫蝉的屁股能吹起一个泡泡让他躲在下面，而毛毛虫可以将大便射得很远来寻找黄蜂的踪迹。蚂蚁和甲虫从屁股中将酸性物质喷到敌人的脸上，而毛毛虫和他们的幼虫用大便来做防护设备以躲开敌人。昆虫也利用屁股的味道来和朋友、亲人及敌人进行交流。还有些其他的昆虫将高糖分的大便送给别人来保护自己。说到大便，有些白蚁以大便来喂养自己的孩子，为他们提供消化木料所需的微生物。一个生物学博士用极其好玩又精确的科技的方式来讲述动物的屁股，其中既不乏科学依据，也富含幽默风趣。(兼职翻译-LN)
