If you have watched A Bug’s Life, you would have seen that insects come in an assortment of colours, shapes, and sizes. They are the perfect organism that could be used to describe the myriad diversity of all life on earth. These six-legged creatures are one of the most diverse groups of species, accounting for more than 80% of all documented living animals
To meet these aims, we will be documenting the diversity of one million malaise-caught insects from 100 sites across the UK in the next five years. We will be using a non-destructive DNA extraction technique to preserve insect specimen integrity for museum collections or educational purposes
