Grubtime Natter
Wednesday 19 February
12.30-1.30pm Sylvia’s Space
Scarabs, Moths and Spiders – find out more about some of the stories of the beasts featured in Beauty and the Beasts – have your lunch and meet new people in these informal lunchtime talks.
‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: bugs and our feelings about them’.
Most of us like butterflies, respect bees and even try to take care for them, but what about cockroaches, fleas or scorpions? Are we prepared to see any good or beauty in them? Dr Dmitri Logunov, the Museum’s Curator of Arthropods, will talk about insects and other minibeasts, their alien beauty and perfection, and our attitudes towards them.
