Here Dr Phil Smith shares in intricate knowledge of insects .

We explore questions - why does it matter that a Tiger beetle on Formby Dunes disappears.

His stories of biological control are quite staggering. Quite incredible.

Why have the government allowed pesticides that alter Bees behaviour, banned in the EU.

Now in England it has been reintroduced to help farmers grow oil seed rape.

Oil seed rape why should I care - well you will find it is used in cooking oil. You will have it in the kitchen . Restaurants take aways will cook in it / with it .
