Book Description
This book explores mate-finding and courtship behaviour in the insect world, in all its subtlety and diversity. Insects engage in courtship as much, or as little, as any other animal; they have songs and dances, and all manner of instruments and ornaments to attract and court the opposite sex. Insects have evolved complex chemical and acoustic communication systems, sending fragrant messages, visual signals and subtle vibrations to attract and persuade. Insects also have many different ways and means of choosing or rejecting mating partners. This beautifully illustrated book shows the incredible variety of courtship behaviours and celebrates the wonderful natural history of a wide range of insects. Varieties of courtship can occur before, during and even after copulation, and numerous examples of the different mating strategies used are presented. This landmark volume will be of interest to students of biology, entomologists, naturalists and anyone with a desire to know more about the love lives of the small creatures with which we share the planet.

Book Description
A mile away the white beach of a little, land-locked bay shimmered under the morning sun, and the drooping fronds of the cocos hung listless and silent, waiting for the rising of the south-east trade. "Paul," I said, "it is very hot here. Come on shore with me to the native village, where it is cooler, and I will make you a big drink of lime-juice." I helped him to rise-for he was weak from a bad attack of New Guinea fever-and two of our native crew assisted him over the side into my whaleboat. A quarter of an hour later we were seated on mats under the shade of a great wild mango tree, drinking lime-juice and listening to the lazy hum of the surf upon the reef, and the soft croo, croo of many "crested" pigeons in the branches above.

Jessamyn Gerrick has never really felt like part of the wolf pack her family belongs to because she’s unable to shift into her wolf form. The guys in her pack all look at her as if she’s not worth having for a mate, and her self-esteem is at an all-time low when she makes plans to go to a pack gathering. She sees a notice online for a gathering, run by a hyena clan in Pennsylvania, for all unmated shifters. Her parents aren’t fans of hyenas, thanks to a situation involving her mother, so Jessi decides to go to the Pennsylvania gathering instead and keep it a secret. Hyena brothers Gavin, Rubin, and Jett Stone have been looking for their truemate for years, traveling to different hyena gatherings in hopes of finding the one female on the planet meant to be theirs. When they attend a gathering in Pennsylvania, they finally find her in the beautiful Jessi. There’s only one problem: her parents don’t trust hyenas and have bad history with their fathers. While Jessi is happy to be their mate, the bad blood between her parents and theirs is enough to derail even the strongest mating. As the quartet navigates their new relationship and family pressures, a deadly threat rises up in the pack that could change the course of their lives forever. When a cherished family member’s life is on the line, can Jessi’s mates intervene, or will all be lost on the full moon?
