There are not only ten quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000) insects alive at any one time - they have been around for nearly 400 million years! So step inside and get close to Earth's great survivors, many of which live in armies and colonies. You'll find that:
if a bulldog ant is cut in two, the head and the abdomen will fight each other
the mantis looks exactly like a flower of a rotten leaf
there are more species of beetle than of any other animal group on Earth
and much more.
