Insects are often overlooked because they are small or ignored
because they are deemed trivial, and many are dismissed as nuisance
pests. But their numbers and diversity are mind-numbing, and under
even a modest hand lens they are beautiful or bizarre. Insects
dominate the centre ground of all terrestrial and most aquatic
ecosystems. They inform us of the conservation value of ancient
woodland and chalk downland. They help monitor the purity or
pollution levels of ponds, streams and rivers. And they can
demonstrate the effects of climate change, acting as warning lights
to alert us to the damage that humans are doing to the world.
Recent insectageddon headlines are starting to make people sit up
and take more notice. What better way to promote an interest in
these fascinating creatures than by poetizing them? This cornucopia
of discordant nonsense, with some quite frankly dubious rhyming
clashes, is offered up so that entomological outreach will at least
benefit from their shock value.
