| Summary |
[The author] travels from the drawers of wonder at the Natural History Museum, London to the mountains of Peru, via underground caves, smelly latrines, and the English country garden. She discovers flies without wings, eyes on stalks, rotating genitalia and the terrible hairy fly, while pausing along the way to consider today's key issues of conservation, taxonomy, forensic entomology and climate change." -- Jacket. |
