Frequently Asked Questions
Why are pollinators important?
Pollinators are responsible for ever third bite of food we humans eat. They pollinate for free and provide an essential service which feeds humans and our livestock. Without pollinators we’d have few fruits, vegetables and nuts and we’d have to subsist on wheat, rice and corn. Here’s a video that explains the importance of pollinators.
What are the deadliest insects & how about their stings?
Asian murder hornets are an invasive species and they deliver a venomous sting high on the pain threshold. This YouTube video shows the nastiest stingers in the insect world among ants, hornets & wasps. Make no mistake these stings can range from annoying to deadly.
When will The Stories Book be released?
The InsectUs series is currently in development. I am currently writing book #4 and working on an outline for book #5.
How many species of insects are there?
We don’t know. The best guess from entomologists (those who study insects) is between 5 and 25 million. Today, species are still being found. Did you know that there are many species of arachnid that are spiders like scorpions, pseudoscorpions and solifugea? This YouTube video shows you their stings too.
