The Verb: Insects and Language

Ian McMillan and guests explore writing about insects and insect-language - including a look at the words used to describe insects in science fiction, and in nature writing. Will Burns and Hannah Peel celebrate moths in a new sound commission, poet Elizabeth-Jane Burnett shares work-in-progress, and linguist Rob Drummond looks at the ways aliens have so often been portrayed as insect-like. Ian is also joined by entomologist Richard Jones
