Q & A

What is the goal of Nozman and Pierre's trip to the forest?

Their goal is to find and observe as many living things, especially insects, as possible and create macro photography content.

What insect does Nozman call beautiful but disgusting when Pierre picks it up?

Nozman calls the dragonfly larvae that Pierre picks up beautiful but disgusting.

What causes the holes in the leaves that Nozman and Pierre examine?

The holes are caused by insect larvae living inside the leaves and essentially hacking the leaves' growth mechanisms to create shelters and food sources.

How does Pierre say ants and other insects detect scents and chemicals?

Insects do not actually smell or taste. They have antennae and other structures with chemical receptors that detect molecules in the air or on surfaces.

What creature can jump and make clicking sounds?

Nozman and Pierre find a click beetle that can arch part of its belly and then snap it back to make little jumps and clicking sounds.

What is the main difference between ladybugs and the bright beetles Nozman sees?

Ladybugs are very dome-shaped while the beetles Nozman sees are flatter on top.

What insect has super long antennae that excites Nozman?

Nozman gets very excited when he sees a longhorn beetle, which has incredibly long antennae compared to its body size.

How does Pierre say ants follow scent trails?

Pierre explains ants send out one or two scout ants that lay down pheromone trails when they find food, then other ants follow the pheromone trails.

What book does Pierre recommend people check out?

Pierre recommends people check out his book The Evolutionary Odyssey for more information about insects and evolution.

Why does Nozman thank Pierre at the end?

Nozman thanks Pierre for taking him to the forest and teaching him about all the insects he would never have seen on his own.
