Overview

Fed up of swiping left? Kissed more frogs than princes? Ever wondered if there's a better way to find a mate?

Biologist Antonia Forster says there is... and suggests we take inspiration from the insect world.

In this hilarious, fact-filled talk, we delve into the common misconceptions of bug life. Learn how ‘creepy’ crawlies can actually be romantic and sexy in a discussion that you will never forget.
