Extraordinary Insects with Professor Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson

Location

Chorleywood War Memorial Hall, Common Road, Chorleywood, Rickmansworth,WD3 5LN

Event description

A journey into the weird, wonderful and truly astonishing lives of the small but mighty creatures who keep the world turning.

Out of sight, underfoot, unseen beyond fleeting scuttles or darting flights, insects occupy a hidden world, yet are essential to sustaining life on earth.

Their private lives are also full of fun, intrigue and wonder –musical mating rituals; house-hunting for armies of beetle babies; metamorphosing into new characters; throwing parties in fermenting sap; cultivating fungi for food; farming smaller species for honey dew and always ensuring that what is dead is decomposed, ready to become life once again.

Join Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson, a professor at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) and Chorleywood Bookshop as we will discover life and death, drama and dreams, all on a millimetric scale. Reminding us that our Earth is the planet of insects, and this is their extraordinary story.
