Insects are everywhere – on the highest mountains, but also in the London Underground where even its own, unique species of mosquito has evolved.
They are inside the nostrils of walruses and in computers! They wear their skeletons on the outside, like armor. They may have ears on their knees, eyes on their penises, and tongues under their feet. The insects make the world go round. Without them, no pollination – but also no decay. Nor any food for the many birds and animals that live on insects. For every human living on earth, there are 200 million insects. But while the number of people has doubled in the last 40 years, the number of insects has at the same time halved.
Planet of the Insects is a passionate and insightful story about the little creatures we can't live without.
Said of the Planet of the Insects:
"Extraordinary Insects is a joy" - The Times
"Erudite, enlightening and entertaining (...) a timely reminder of the fragility of our ecosystem and the vital role that insects play in the future of the planet and humanity's existence" - Countryman
