Bob the Worm by Hillel T. Schwartz Pdf

"Bob the worm" is a lighthearted,cartoonish look at how one type of worms live in the wild: they hunt down insects that they will use as their home and as food, before their descendants repeat the process several generations later. See the whole book (in low resolution) at: https://youtu.be/fdm5RmfMdG0 Although written as a kid's book, the biology described is real: entomopathogenic nematodes (roundworms) of the genus Heterorhabditis infect, infest, and consume insects, relying on a partnership with symbiotic bacteria essential to their survival and success. These bacteria kill the insect, defend the carcass from other microorganisms and other predators, and provide a food source for the Heterorhabditis nematode; in turn, when the carcass is crowded the worms will disperse in search of new insect hosts, each carrying bacteria that could neither survive in the soil nor infect new insects without them. The book gives a simplified and friendly presentation of this life cycle, and offers an opportunity to discuss what is happening in the natural world around us every day.

There's a Worm in My Cake by Frank Dickinson Pdf

Author Frank Dickinson and his wife Gillian left England for New Zealand as newlyweds. Three years later, they moved to Australia. Leaving behind successful careers in Sydney, the couple and their children start a new life as worm farmers on the New South Wales coast in Berry. Many adventures later, they still love living there. There’s a Worm in My Cake is a humorous account of their momentous decision to leave behind the corporate rat race to pursue the dream of rural self-sufficiency on the beautiful NSW coast in the early 1980s. “The book follows our triumphs and tragedies, and the establishment of a successful mail order worm farming operation that includes floods, hailstorms, flea infestations and sewer blockages, chicken massacres and worm escapes, along with the fun and enjoyment that we experienced with some of our loveable and unconventional animal charges.” Their adventures include horse breaking, dairy farming, house building, mastering the art of tree felling with an ancient chainsaw, and developing the worm business, which presents many interesting and hazardous situations, some of which are funny, while some have heartbreaking consequences.
