###  Put a bug in your life! Why do we need insects?

 Insects cause strong emotions, from horror and phobias to utmost fascination. Regardless of how we feel, they are very much present in our daily lives. And yet, insects could disappear in just a century if no measures are taken to protect and conserve them. Why is their disappearance important? Can we live without them? All this and much more will be discussed in this walking Tree Mob, during which, armed with nets and after a brief training by Tatiana Pina, attendees can feel like entomologists themselves. Come get close to the amazing diversity of insects, learn about their major groups, and discover the important roles they play in nature.

 Note: Wear closed-toe shoes.

###  ¡Pon un bicho en tu vida! ¿Por qué necesitamos los insectos?

 Los insectos causan sentimientos enfrontados, desde horror y fobia hasta la más absoluta fascinación. Pero independientemente del sentimiento que despierten, están muy presentes en nuestra vida diaria. Y sin embargo, podrían desaparecer en apenas un siglo si no se toman medidas para protegerlos y conservarlos. Pero ¿qué importancia tiene la desaparición de “esos pequeños seres”? ¿Podemos vivir sin ellos? De todo esto y mucho más se tratará en este móvil Tree Mob en el que, armados de cazamariposas y tras un breve entrenamiento con la entomóloga Tatiana Pina, los asistentes podrán sentirse entomólogos por un día, acercarse a la inagotable diversidad de los insectos y conocer los principales grupos de nuestro entorno, así como descubrir qué papel juegan.
