Sex on six legs, by Marlene Zuk

A very interesting book with an unfortunately sensationalistic title. This book is about many aspects of insect life and behavior. There are many instances in this book that reinforce the notion that the truth is stranger than fiction. Marlene Zuk has a way of writing about her topic with authority, but in a way that is also accessible. I appreciate how she admonishes scientists (and us) to avoid applying our own preconceptions and motivations to the behavior of other organisms.
