An Invertebrate Fable

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.
