Unsung insect heroesAugust 4, 2022
The bee at the window, the ants on the porch, the beetle on the floor, the spider in the corner – they're all part of a vast underworld of insects that sustains the Earth and the humans that inhabit it. And they're woefully underappreciated. That's the theme behind "Six-Legged Science: Unlocking the Secrets of the Insect World," an interactive exhibit of more than 1,000 specimens at the Museum of the Earth in Ithaca, New York. The goal of the exhibit, powered in part by the U.S. National Science Foundation, is to educate the public about the critical role that insects play as pollinators, foundational food sources, scavengers and decomposers in keeping ecosystems humming.…
