This book of pressed insects dates from 1690, and is thought to be the oldest collection of insects in the world. It' s very well preserved, but it is quite delicate so, in just... Oh, my Lord, look at that. It' s the oldest part of a great museum collection that now has specimens from half of all the known insect species. Scientists now believe that collecting and studying insects is central to our ability to understand and conserve the health of the planet. At the edge of one of the world' s largest cities, a stone' s throw away from the M25, lies one of the most intensively studied habitats in Europe, this small woodland in Surrey. |
