The Insect Epiphany: How Our Six-Legged Allies Shape Human Culture - Livestream

For every human being on the planet, there are roughly 1.4 billion individual insects. But aside from the odd pesky mosquito or charming bumble bee, how often do we humans really consider them?  

According to entomologist Barrett Klein, it ought to be more often! Throughout history, insects have markedly shaped human culture - from serving as valuable sources of food, pigment, and fiber, to inspiring our greatest feats of engineering, art, and design. And though they are vastly underappreciated and facing significant challenges today, we still stand to learn much from their abundant wisdom.  

Join us as entomologist, artist, and author Barrett Klein (Insect Epiphany) brings the fascinating world of insects to the Land Ethic Live stage, sharing how these six-legged creatures have shaped human culture for millennia and how learning to appreciate their vital roles in the biotic community can strengthen our own land ethics. Enjoy a lively presentation from Barrett followed by audience Q+A and, if we're lucky, a peek at Barrett's incredible artistic collaborations with insects!
