Metropolitan France has more than 40,000 species of insects, 5,000 of which are actively involved in pollination. 90% of the flowering plants, essential for our survival, are dependent on these precious little beasts. Despite this, Hymenoptera, Diptera, Coleoptera and Lepidoptera suffer from a bad reputation, stereotypes and often irrational fear. Come and discover these 6-legged animals now threatened and drop your prejudices to better protect them.
