The Insect Crisis by Oliver Milman ~ a Review

by Donna Huber

I love science, particularly biology and ecology. So I'm always looking for new books and I almost missed this one. Like many of you when I think about insects, I think of the pests that chase me inside (or reaching for the bug spray) on warm summer evenings or the creepy crawlies that interrupt picnics. In my professional life, insects are usually discussed in terms of vectors for diseases. And with my homestead group, we focus on pollinators - particularly the honeybee. All these, and more, are discussed in Oliver Milman's new book The Insect Crisis: The Fall of the Tiny Empires That Run the World (I love that tag line!)
