To bee, or not to bee

I am considering joining Buglife (the Invertebrate Conservation Trust) when I finally transform back to tax-paying pleb from student, sooner rather than later hopefully.  Despite being somewhat freaked out by insects on a regular basis, they are undoubtedly very important little monsters.  Sir David Attenborough quite rightly said:

"If we and the rest of the back-boned animals were to disappear over night, the rest of the world would get on pretty well.  But if the invertebrates were to disappear, the world's ecosystems would collapse."

It's amazing what is down there in the depths of the underworld.  I spotted this little chap on Saturday whilst hunting for adders on the heath at Brenchley Wood...

So I think I would like to be an advocate for bug conservation, as long as mother nature keeps them small.  I may have to re-consider my position should films like "Them" come true.
