Which insects do you see? A fly sitting on your computer screen, a mosquito buzzing in your ear just as you drop off to sleep, a butterfly flitting about in the garden outside, or how about the ants that made off with the remains of a dead moth?</p> <p>Most of the insects we see around us have rather short lives. A few hours, a few days, that&rsquo;s about how long most insects last. We don&rsquo;t notice them dying out because they&rsquo;re promptly replaced by a new bunch. Yet, some insects live comparatively really long lives.</p>
