Insectarium by Welcome to the Museum is published by Big Picture Press in partnership with the Royal Entomological Society. It is written by the award winning author Dave Goulson with beautiful artwork by textile designer Emily Carter. Insects are essential for life as we know it. There are at least one million species of insects, together making up over 80 per cent of all living species on Earth. Around 10,000 new species of insects are discovered every year. In Insectarium learn about the secret world thriving right underneath your feet. How do they work together and how do they defend themselves?
Explore the rooms of Insectarium and meet the beautiful demoiselle and the gigantic goliath beetle. Learn why these small creatures have such a huge impact on the world around us, and why we should be protecting them.
This latest addition to the Welcome to the Museum series will appeal to any budding entomologist or nature lover with a thirst for more knowledge.
