Insect Apocalpse
With all the scenes of distressed wildlife in our unprecedented catastrophic bushfires a few years back, we haven’t heard of any effects on our insect population. Insects are often forgotten. Is there an ‘Insect Apocalypse’ impending?
4ZZZʻs Eliot Rifkin chats with Stefan Hattingh the Operations Manager from the B4C (Bulimba Creek Catchment Coordinating Committee) about what’s happening in the world of insects.
For a deep dive...
