- **Event Name**: Insects & Spiders: Our long distant cousins and our resident aliens
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 04 Jan, 2026 at 04:30 am
- **Event Description**: Our next Forum is on Sunday 4 January.  Professor Bill Lockley will be presenting "Insects &amp; Spiders: Our long distant cousins and our resident aliens". We share our world with species far, far, older than ours. These are the insects and spiders. Just what are they, how did they arise and why are they so stunningly varied? Why do we react so strongly to them? What dangers do they represent?  What are the evolved super-powers which make them so successful? Why is it so difficult to live with them and so difficult to live without them? How do we benefit from their properties and activities? How do such small brains work to provide intelligent behaviour? Do they have a personal view of the world? Can they be said to have a mind? Might they have goals, feelings and emotions? Could we be sharing the world with millions of tiny minds?  This talk tries to answer all those questions, and more, and to provoke some discussion about our own role with respect to the other successful animals on our planet.
This sounds fascinating.  So do come along.  We meet upstairs in The Canalhouse for coffee/tea from 10.30, with the Forum starting at 11.00.  We aim to finish by 12.30 and then, whoever wishes to, will go for a drink and maybe lunch too.
