He joins the scientists tracking the decline of insect populations across the globe, including the mountains of Mexico that host an epic, yet dwindling, migration of monarch butterflies the verdant countryside of England that has been emptied of insect life the gargantuan fields of US agriculture that have proved a killing ground for bees and an offbeat experiment in Denmark that shows there aren't that many bugs splattering into your car windshield these days.
