Anja Eder enthusiastically showcases an insect microcosm. She has documented a variety of butterflies, wild bees, hoverflies, flies, mosquitoes, wasps, ants, aphids, cicadas, bugs, beetles, earwigs, and grasshoppers in her 180 square meter garden. She utilizes her creative and photographic virtuosity to take us on a journey into fascinating details. This love for detail is also reflected in the texts, which are the result of intensive research incorporating professional advice and expertise. Over 300 insect species are described in individual portraits. You will learn which plants their lives depend on, what they eat or who preys on them, how and where they raise their young, when they are active, and why they are so important for all of us. About 260 plant species from her garden are clearly presented and described in detail. Approximately 90% of the herbivorous insects in Germany rely on native plants. Without native plants, the reproduction of these insects is impossible.
