摘要
Females also choose their reproductive partners in the insect world. This sexual selection leads to the most incredible results in the competition between males: For example, the males of certain fly species try to score points with long eyestalks. The way male crickets and grasshoppers sing, the glow of cold light in fireflies, scent scales in butterflies, perfumed legs in male bees, etc., impress and influence the choice of the females they court.
