Few people pause to consider the living habits of mosquitoes as they swat away the pesky creatures. But biologist Curt Stager views plants and wildlife with particular consideration, interest, and awe.

Stager reminds us that many mosquitoes do not bite humans at all, and those that do are only females trying to feed their unborn young, risking death each time they do so. He includes twenty natural science essays that explore the lives of animals, plants, and fungi commonly encountered in the conifer and hardwood forests of northeastern North America.

With the same humor and personable ease that characterizes the popular weekly nature program that he coproduces on North County Public Radio--the show that provided the catalyst for this book--Stager draws on the latest scientific literature and on his own field observations to convey his curiosity about the natural world.
