This book of pressed insects dates from 1690, and is thought to be the oldest collection of insects in the world.
It's very well preserved, but it is quite delicate so, in just...
Oh, my Lord, look at that.
It's the oldest part of a great museum collection that now has specimens from half of all the known insect species.
Scientists now believe that collecting and studying insects is central to our ability to understand and conserve the health of the planet. At the edge of one of the world's largest cities, a stone's throw away from the M25, lies one of the most intensively studied habitats in Europe, this small woodland in Surrey.这本昆虫标本集始于1690年，被认为是世界上最古老的昆虫标本集。尽管保存得非常完整，但这个标本集非常脆弱。
上帝啊，看啊。
如今馆中已经藏有近半数已知昆虫，而这本标本集，是浩瀚藏品中最古老的。科学家认为收集和研究昆虫，是了解并保护地球生态的关键所在。在全球大城市，伦敦的边沿，距M25公路一箭之遥，便是欧洲最重要的生物群落标本，萨里郡中的一片小林地。 |
