An opportunity for aspiring journalists from the Jeanne-Kaes school in Beaumont Saint-Cyr, Vienne to reflect on the role played by these indispensable creatures. To answer the children, today’s guest is François Lasserre, entomologist and author of several books on insects, including Inventory of small garden creatures (2020, Hoëbeke) and Let’s save the insects! (2020, Rustica).

Amy wonders about the lifespan of this insect. “How do they walk vertically?” Leo questions.. Lohan asks about reproduction and Chris about threats. Finally, Lohan asks a guest “How do insects defend themselves?”
