With six legs, four wings, segmented bodies and faceted eyes, insects may seem like aliens. But throughout human history, they have been with us and currently outnumber us by more than a billion to one . We will explore insect diversity and the places they occupy in nature. We will learn about unusual life styles, feeding and mating habits and compare their senses, abilities and social organization to ours. Finally, we will explore the interactions between insects and humans—how we have related to them as pollinators, pests, pets, indicators of ecological integrity, icons of popular culture and even food items.
