World Beneath Our Feet
language
( Nov. 3, 2018)
'As we stealthily threaded our way between the ghostly giants, I wondered why they had gathered here. Together. And how they had come to this silent end. Considering their enormous size and their reputation for ferocity in life, it did not occur to me some creature even more fearsome might be the author of their destruction. That was a truth that descended on us without warning!'
Bugs. They outnumber us 200 million to one. And there are 124 million of them in an acre of ground. Some are true super-heroes, like leaf-cutter ants, and real medical miracle-workers, like death-stalker scorpions. Yet, we know little about them, mostly unaware they are even there. But from a bug’s-eye view of their hidden realm, they loom larger than life for readers of every age. While the narrative is science fiction, its description of insect behaviors is science fact.
