Insects are not mindless robots; they can learn just like other animals, says Zuk, a biologist at University of California, Riverside. "An ant who finds a food source will come back to recruit others to go to the same food source," she tells Fresh Air's Dave Davies. The ant that knows where to go will show the others what to do. "It looks like a parent teaching a child how to ride a bicycle. ... They steer the other individual and will actually wait for them to catch up and make sure they're going in the right direction."
The book answers all sorts of questions about insect behavior, including how wasps recognize each other, why some crickets remain silent and how bees debate. The book also details how insects reproduce — in every imaginable way.

Small firms represent about 99 percent of all U.S. businesses, but a study by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation shows that while businesses are being formed at roughly the same rate as in the past — the number of startups is even rising — these small businesses create fewer jobs than in the past.
The study found that in the 1980s, startups created an average of 3.5 percent of all U.S. jobs, but in the 2000s, they contributed only 2.6 percent of U.S. jobs.
Since the financial crisis, banks have all but stopped lending to small businesses. Tighter credit means it's also harder for entrepreneurs to borrow against their credit cards, or their homes, as they've done in the past. But many challenges facing small business owners started before the recession.
