An Invertebrate Fable

<p>Invertebrates are fascinating their shapes and behaviour intriguing. Some species are vital as pollinators of our crops and garden flowers or control insect pests including aphids. In this poetry collection the author takes us into the English countryside its hedges and roads sides woodlands grasslands dunes ponds and rivers in search of these creatures. Most are very familiar to us - butterflies dragonflies beetles slugs and snails as well as the slowly marching millipede or scuttling centipede - all vital players in the ecosystem often overlooked and underappreciated. Either way they all have their place in the great scheme of things on planet Earth its biodiversity and rhythms. </p>
