Insects are incredibly weird.

Their morphology is about as alien to us as you can get without leaving this planet. They outnumber us 200 million to one. Before humans stamped their mark on this planet, insects had shaped it into the colourful and extraordinary world we all share today.

Whether it’s the astonishing properties of resilin, the protein that makes fleas jump; the proboscis of the mosquito’s mouth being used to develop smart needles; or the computational dynamics gleaned from studying locust swarms in Africa — Erica McAlister and Adrian Washbourne reveal the wonder of insects, the historical figures who have made great breakthroughs in understanding them, and the increasingly vital role they play in ensuring life, as we know it, continues.

Erica McAlister

Entomologist Erica McAlister is a senior curator of diptera at the Natural History Museum, London. Not just fascinated by studying and naming the little things, Erica has long been intrigued by how they do things, often inspired by the antics that she has observed in the field, both on far flung tropical islands and in her own 'island' garden in urban London. Erica has studied in Dominica, Australia and Costa Rica and her work with diptera has taken her all around the world. She is the author of the award-winning book The Secret Life of Flies.
