My latest literary listen is the audiobook ‘Extraordinary Insects’ by Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson (see Harper Collins)
I have found this book fascinating and I have learnt so much about this mostly unnoticed miniature world.
It answers the questions- What is an insect? What are the smallest and largest insects? How long have insects been around on earth? The answer to the last one is, before the dinosaurs.
Yet the author, an entomologist, also delves further and gives a wonderful insight into the varied insect lives. Her interest in and enthusiasm for insects is infectious. You will discover how insects inspire us, help with food production, clear the streets, solve crime, got Nobel prizes and more. We can even visualise a world without them.
After reading this book you will never view insects in the same way again.
