This remarkable book offers a portrait of insects unlike any seen before. Using an original lens-based method of high-speed photography inspired by the wraparound vision of the compound eye, it presents 60 stunning images of flying insects. These unique panoramic close-ups take the study of flight out of the laboratory and into the natural environment, offering fascinating new insights on the behavioural ecology of insect flight. As a form of animal locomotion, flight is a marvel of biological engineering, based on laws of aerodynamics virtually unknown in the world of human aircraft. But it would be wrong to think of flying insects as merely instinct-driven machines; life on the wing is challenging, and safe navigation requires a highly responsive nervous system. Moreover, insect flight is not just a mechanical process but an expression of complex and finely coordinated patterns of behaviour, including dancing displays, patrolling of breeding territories, wing waving as a form of signalling, and more. In the same way that a person’s hands are not merely functional instruments, the wings of an insect, through their movements, mirror inner impulses. In lucid and engaging prose the author explains the anatomy and physiology of flight, its evolutionary advantages and drawbacks, and the distinct flight patterns shown by different groups of insects – demonstrating how a central nervous system comprising fewer than a million neurons can orchestrate such a varied repertoire of manoeuvres. Looking at things from insects’ point of view will help us see them not just as pests or resources to be exploited, but as vital fellow inhabitants of our planet in need of protection and conservation.
