Time flies when you learn to love bugs | Connor Butler | TEDxSouthamptonUniversity

This talk describes how taking the time to notice the amazing wildlife all around us can be good for our wellbeing. It explains, with appropriate humour, the importance of insects for our very existence, and why our fear of bugs is outdated and needs to change. Connor is an Ecologist and Science Communicator currently working for The Royal Parks. He has a background in research and has led over a thousand students on academic fieldtrips across Southeast Asia. Growing up in the British countryside, he has always felt connected to the outdoors and has a particular fondness for dung beetles and other less-appreciated insects. Following his interests, Connor now runs an educational programme across London’s parks, aiming to connect people with nature and help them learn to love bugs. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
