Drop your prejudices to better protect Hymenoptera, Diptera, Coleoptera or even Lepidoptera essential for our survival.
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.
