Without a doubt, the insects have conquered the land. What could be the reasons for their unprecedented biological success?
Among the animals that have the ability to fly, the insects have managed to inhabit every nook and cranny of the Earth. Even though the conquest of the air has always been mankind's desire, these fascinating little creatures thanks to their wings, they managed to thrive in diverse environments where other animals simply find inaccessible. As we study the reasons for their unprecedented biological success, their unpredictable morphology, their boundless colours and behaviours, we will enter a minuscule world that exists all around us to witness how nature's biodiversity is undoubtedly linked with our very evolution as humans.—Nick Riganas
