The fourth and last volume of this series focuses heavily on water insects (water striders Gerridae, Veliidae, and Hydrometridae, as well as water boatmen) and introduces changes to resin fallen into water (Balanidae shell growth on the surface and bivalve borings inside). An interesting chapter explains wormholes, nests, and insect swarms for mating, and another one shows egg-laying insects and oothecae trapped in amber. It contains an explanation of the following inclusions as part of our personal collection, including many images:
– Scorpions, pseudoscorpions, whip scorpions;
– Ripiphoridae;
– Mating and egg-laying;
– Swarms, nests, and wormholes;
– Resin tubes and resin flow;
– Water skeeters;
– Walking sticks.
A glossary is provided to explain the terminology used. This book is conceived for school-aged children, teens, and their parents who are interested in fossils.
