Are there any spots on Earth without bugs? - Charles Wallace

Travel to some of the most extreme environments on Earth and see how insects are able to employ their skills to survive.--Insects are the world’s most numerous and diverse animals. Even where you’d least expect them in some of Earth’s most extreme environments, there they are. From a scalding volcano, parched desert, to a frigid glacier, insects are living life on the edge. So, how do they do it? Charles Wallace illuminates the incredible survival skills of insects living in some of Earth's harshest ecosystems.Lesson by Charles Wallace, directed by Raghav Arumugam, Jagriti Khirwar.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/are-there-any-places-on-earth-with-no-bugs-charles-wallaceDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/are-there-any-places-on-earth-with-no-bugs-charles-wallace/digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.raghavarumugam.com & https://www.jagritikhirwar.comMusic: https://www.campstudio.co----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
