Arthur era um rapaz estudioso, um amante e colecionador de insetos. Certo dia, por meio dum aparelho supermoderno, ele conseguiu se comunicar com as abelhas duma colmeia em seu jardim. Foi ento que fez a incrivel descoberta: uma civilizaço de insetos inteligentes, organizados por todo o planeta. Arthur acabou se envolvendo numa misso que o levou ate a capital dos insetos no seio da Floresta Amazonica, onde ele tomou parte numa extraordinaria guerra entre varias especies de invertebrados. Sua aventura foi se estendendo enquanto ele se questionava da propria realidade desses acontecimentos.

Seguramente puedes distinguir una abeja de una avispa, pero ¿conoces una mosca que copia los colores de las avispas para que no se la coman? ¿Y sabes que los saltamontes parecen así de torpes para despistar? Fijate: insectos es una pequeña guia para iniciarse en la observacion de la naturaleza.El mundo esta lleno de bichos. Aqui descubriras una parte diminuta del grupo mas abundante del planeta: los insectos. Pueden ser de lo mas variado, pero todos tienen seis patas, su cuerpo esta dividido en tres partes y estan cubiertos por un exoesqueleto mas o menos duro que cambian a medida que crecen; ademas, muchos sufren metamorfosis, es decir, que de pequeños son muy diferentes y viven de un modo muy distinto a cuando son adultos. Casi siempre tienen al menos un par de alas, aunque unos las usan mas que otros. Los encontraras bajo las piedras, en el agua, sobre las plantas, en excrementos y cadaveres ¡Por todas partes!

El Parque Nacional Natural Gorgona (PNNG) ubicado frente a la costa Pacífica de Colombia, en jurisdicción del departamento del Cauca, es una de las principales áreas protegidas del Chocó Biogeográfico, donde la exuberante selva humeda tropical alberga una alta riqueza biologica aun desconocida para la ciencia. La presente obra es solo una muestra de la riqueza entomologica que albergan las islas Gorgona y Gorgonilla y ha sido posible gracias al aporte de 36 autores de Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Estados Unidos e Inglaterra, quienes a lo largo de tres decadas realizaron expediciones esporadicas a estas islas para reunir en 19 capitulos aspectos de la taxonomia, morfologia, distribucion e historia natural de 259 especies de insectos pertenecientes a 16 ordenes, ademas de incluir 476 fotografias tomadas en campo y en laboratorio por reconocidos fotografos de la naturaleza e investigadores de la entomologia.Insectos de la isla Gorgona registra informacion relevante sobre insectos acuaticos, los mas primitivos y de corta vida, sobre los maestros del camuflaje que pasan inadvertidos a la espera de sus presas y sobre otros grupos que no se observan facilmente, pero que dan cuenta de su presencia dados los continuos sonidos o los destellos de luz que emiten. En cuanto a diversidad sorprenden las numerosas especies que se encontraron en la isla y que prestan importantes servicios ecosistemicos como la polinizacion, los que actuan en el control de otros insectos y los que intervienen en el reciclaje de materia organica, ademas sobresalen los insectos sociales que prestan sus servicios ambientales.Varias especies de insectos se han nominado en honor a la "isla ciencia", como se conoce a Gorgona: neuroptero Trichoscelia gorgonensis, el piojo de los libros Loneura gorgonaensis, los grillos Ripipteryx gorgonaensis y Copiphora gorgonensis, la mosca colgante Pazius gorgonensis, la abeja de las orquideas Euglossa gorgonensis, las mariposas Mesosemia zonalis gorgoniensis y Parides iphidamas gorgonae y las hormigas Leptogenys gorgona y Technomyrmex Gorgona, lo que convierten a esta isla en un importante referente entomologico para Colombia y el mundo.

Micrographia is a historic book by Robert Hooke, detailing the then thirty-year-old Hookes observations through various lenses. Published in September 1665, the first major publication of the Royal Society, it was the first scientific best-seller, inspiring a wide public interest in the new science of microscopy. It is also notable for coining the biological term cell.Observations: Hooke most famously describes a flys eye and a plant cell (where he coined that term because plant cells, which are walled, reminded him of a monks quarters). Known for its spectacular copperplate engravings of the miniature world, particularly its fold-out plates of insects, the text itself reinforces the tremendous power of the new microscope. The plates of insects fold out to be larger than the large folio itself, the engraving of the louse in particular folding out to four times the size of the book. Although the book is best known for demonstrating the power of the microscope, Micrographia also describes distant planetary bodies, the wave theory of light, the organic origin of fossils, and various other philosophical and scientific interests of its author.Publication: Published under the aegis of The Royal Society, the popularity of the book helped further the societys image and mission of being "the" scientifically progressive organization of London.Micrographia also focused attention on the miniature world, capturing the publics imagination in a radically new way. This impact is illustrated by Samuel Pepys reaction upon completing the tome: "the most ingenious book that I ever read in my life." Hooke also selected several objects of human origin; among these objects were the jagged edge of a honed razor and the point of a needle, seeming blunt under the microscope. His goal may well have been as a way to contrast the flawed products of mankind with the perfection of nature (and hence, in the spirit of the times, of biblical creation).
