Plants trick, kill, steal and kidnap, and this unique book explores a fascinating world in which plants have turned the tables on animals. Author Chris Thorogood showcases these plant behaviours, the interrelationships among plants, the interdependencies between plants and animals, and the intrigue of plant evolution. All types of weird and sinister are featured in this book, from carnivorous plants that drug, drown and consume unsuspecting insect prey; giant pitcher plants that have evolved toilets for tree shrews; flowers that mimic rotting flesh to attract pollinating flies, and orchids that duplicitously look, feel and even smell like a female insect to bamboozle sex-crazed male bees.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 580 Th Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 580 Thorogood Checked out 05/11/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 580 Th Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 580 Th Checked out 05/24/2024 Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 580 Th Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 580 Th Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
