Insects rule the world!
I have been going on dudu safaris with Dino Martins Kenya’s own Dr Dudulittle – a young entomologist with a passion for bugs and nature. He’s completing his PhD at Harvard and has a lot to say about his favourite animals.
We did an experiment to find out how many bugs there are in my Nairobi back yard.
Find out why wider eye spacing is sexier for the Stalk eyed flies
How dye is made from the disgusting cochineal bug “a sack of eggs with a mouth part” that parasitizes prickly pear cactus.
I’m very proud to be a good friend of Dino who you can see moves in VERY high circles…

Watch this space to learn about this gigantic monster!
Note* for those who think the word dudu is a rude word, think again. It means insect in Swahili, and insects rule the world
