Did you know that insects are at the forefront of research today? Scientists are looking to them to design heart valves, prosthetics, drones, noise-cancelling headphones and many other things. In fact, insects have done what humans are only beginning to learn to do.

However, despite occupying every nook and corner of the earth and sustaining several ecological systems, they continue to remain misunderstood and unappreciated beings. Considering the diversity of entomological studies happening across various parts of the globe, it will not be an exaggeration to say that the field is still at a nascent stage in India.

In Miniature Giants, biologist and naturalist Geetha Iyer attempts to set the record straight. She writes about several such marvellous insects and their strange and absorbing behaviours in an attempt to highlight the need for their conservation. In this book, she also dispels myths and misconceptions about them arising from nothing but sheer ignorance.
