Insects are the most abundant animal on the planet, with a diversity unmatched by any living thing. With around over 10 quintillion insects roaming earth at any given time, is it any wonder why they inhabit just about every ecosystem across the globe.
Insects are the most abundant animal on the planet, with a diversity unmatched by any living thing. With around over 10 quintillion insects (10,000,000,000,000,000,000) roaming earth at any given time, is it any wonder why they inhabit just about every ecosystem across the globe.
Yes we may not always want them around us, and some may be fearful, but, they are none the less important. Without insects we may not even be here.
Join this session to find out why insects matter, and with the challenges we face we need to look after them!
We're delivering our Masterclasses virtually at the moment, to continue allowing you access to our amazing sessions delivered by expert academics. Throughout the sessions we will aim to meet individual needs, allow space for reflection and include time for conversations to share experiences and knowledge within the 'virtual' room.
Our virtual Masterclasses are approximately an hour long, but may run longer if we have a lot of questions.
If you are a teacher or tutor and would like for your whole class to get involved, drop us an email at
[email protected] and we'll see how we can help you. Bespoke events may be possible for schools and colleges, at times that suit you, dependent on academic availability.
