Description
Out of sight, underfoot, unnoticed, insects occupy a hidden world, yet are essential to sustaining our entire natural world. Bark beetles throw parties in the fermenting sap; termites cultivate fungi for food; ants farm lice for honey dew; flour beetle larva digest plastic; blowfly larva heal wounds; and all ensure that what is dead is decomposed, ready to become life once again. A journey into the weird, wonderful and truly astonishing lives of the small but mighty creatures who keep the world turning.
