What do you do?
I’m an entomologist. I love bugs, insects of all kinds. They really are the little creatures that run the world. As an entomologist, as an evolutionary biologist, and as a naturalist and an artist, I’ve spent my life so far exploring the amazing world that we are part of, and learning the intricate details of living things, of the interactions between plants and insects, and getting to understand the connections that underpin our life support systems on this planet.
