Many animals, birds and people rely on them for food, while a ll of our fruits and many of our vegetables are entirely dependent on them for p ollination. We need to know more about these extraordinarily beautiful and compl ex creatures to understand their vital role in maintaining our planet's life sup port systems so that we are better placed to conserve them and, ultimately, our own living space.Alien Empire, and the television series which it accompanie s, open the doors into a world that we have never seen.

As this b ook shows, in their looks and behaviour, insects are as close to an alien life f orm as any we are likely to find in the stars.…
