This book has reawakened my dormant dream to be a Disney Princess at one with nature. Me:

"Yet this apparently altruistic and idyllic nunnery is not what it seems, for within the shadowy confines of the nest violent fights do occur, and cannibalism, infanticide and murder are rife."

"A furry coat and insulating air bags are a good start, but the heat has to com from somewhere, and it is generated by the contractions of the flight muscles."

Bumblebees have a internal temp of 95 degrees that must be maintained continually.

"The males are doomed to be short-lived for, with summer's end approaching, they have no way of surviving the winter. Their only role is to mate."

I wish this book had pictures. I've been doing google image searches for all the plants, places, and critters he describes. Very pretty! :3

Alright I'm finally going to start reading this book! I'm soo excited! :D
