About the event
Incredible Insects
Prof. Mike Bruton
Wednesday 30 July, 18:30, Franschhoek Theatre
Join us for an evening of astonishing discoveries as SmallTalX®️ welcomes Professor Mike Bruton – renowned science communicator, author, and naturalist – for a vivid illustrated journey into the strange and spectacular world of insects.
What is it like to be a six-legged creature with a chitinous exoskeleton, living near the bottom of the food chain? Join Prof. Bruton in exploring insect diversity, metamorphosis, camouflage, defence, social behaviour, and ecological importance – and ask what happens to our world if insects disappear.
Prof. Bruton draws on decades of experience in science education and biodiversity conservation to make the invisible world of insects come alive.
