Insects such as cockroaches, mosquitoes and bed-bugs are usually
not highly sought amongst travellers or recreationists, yet each
year, collectors, butterfly enthusiasts, dragonfly-hunters and
apiarists collect, visit, document and raise insects for
recreational purposes. Illustrating a range of human-insect
encounters from an interdisciplinary perspective, this book
provides the first insight into the booming industry of insect
recreation. Case studies and examples demonstrate the appeal of
insects, ranging from the captivating beauty of butterflies to the
curious fascination of locust swarms, and challenge the notion that
animals lacking anthropomorphic features hold little or no interest
for humans. Throughout the book, the emphasis is on the innovators,
the educators, the dedicated researchers and activists who, through
collaboration across fields ranging from entomology to sociology
and anthropology, have brought insects from the recreational
fringes to the forefront of many conservation and leisure
initiatives.
