✦ Synopsis

If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos'.

-E. O. Wilson (1985) 'I do believe that an intimacy with the world of crickets and their kind can be salutary -not for what they are likely to teach us about ourselves but because they remind us, if we will let them, that there are other voices, other rhythms, other strivings and fulfillments than our own'.
