Why we should all dig into poo - all you need is a spoon
Cowpats in a Cambridge meadow offer vital lessons in how a host of tiny creatures sustain our planet.
Prof Ed Turner, curator of insects at Cambridge University, digs into one with a teaspoon. Rather like an episode of The Great British Bake Off, he is talking us through textures and ingredients.
Cow dung contains 24 minerals - including nitrogen, potassium, sulphur, iron, magnesium, copper, cobalt and manganese - as well as a rich diversity of bacteria and fungi. "There is a whole suite of animals that feed on this," says Turner.
This is a nursery for new life.

They look like creatures from another planet, but these weird specimens are all marine life captured by talented underwater photographer Kei Nomiyama.
In his photo series Blackwater, the 36-year-old presents the amazing creatures discovered in the sea at night.
His work includes the quirky sight of a 'jellyfish rider', a lobster larvae hitching a ride on a hapless jellyfish, and the Phronima Sedentaria, a species of amphipod crustacean, that Kei says reminds him of the sci-fi film 'Aliens'.
Kei explains: "I live in Matsuyama city at Shikoku island, smallest of the four main islands in Japan. I mainly take these photos at Omi-island in Yamaguchi-prefecture. The Omi-island is located in the south of the main island of Japan and facing the Sea of Japan.

'Yuck! The Things People Eat' Food Project - Nov 2010
Editorial Use Only. No books, advertising or merchandise.

Yuck! The Things People Eat
One man has made it his mission to taste disgusting delicacies around the world.
Neil Setchfield's 'Yuck! The Things People Eat' project has seen him try unusual foods ranging from fried songbird in Cambodia to pigs brain in the Philippines.
The artfully photographed results of his brave culinary journey have been collected in a book of the same name.
Neil explains: "A couple of years ago I was walking through a market in Cambodia when I came across a stall selling stir fried tarantulas. I took some photographs but they didn't really convey the reality of what was a huge bucket piled high with a crispy gelatinous mass of cooked black spiders. So I bought some, as you do, not really sure whether to eat or to photograph. In the end I did both - the spiders tasted mainly of the spicy sauce they were cooked in - but when I looked at them in all their gory detail through the camera with a macro lens I just knew I had a interesting project.
"The reaction to the photographs was just as inspiring. Whilst everyone back in London went "YUCK!", when I showed them the pictures, in Cambodia the natural response was "YUM!". Whilst one nation was appalled the other was just peckish. And this became the entire premise of the project, how differing cultures react to different types of food.
"But the spiders were just the beginning and now three years later I've eaten and photographed everything from wild grey squirrel in the north of England to roast guinea pig in Peru, from sheep's penis and black scorpion kebabs in China to kangaroos tail in Australia. And that's just a fraction of the whole.
"What I've come to realise is that some people somewhere will eat every single bit of every creature they can catch and cook - and someti...

A trio of tiny Empusa Mantis larvae march along the stem of a rose, passing a thorn
Amazing close-up pictures show deadly beauty of mantises, Costa Brava, Spain - 07 Sep 2010
With bulbous eyes and their strange stick-like bodies, these mantises look like creatures from another planet. Perched on the tiny stem of a plant, one insect enjoys a lunch of tiny yellow aphids. Another picture shows a mantis about to pounce on an unwitting butterfly and one incredible shot even shows the creatures in larvae form, not much bigger than a thorn. These incredible close-ups were snapped by wildlife enthusiast Jimmy Hoffman. The 50-year-old scours the vegetation around his home in the Costa Brava, Spain, looking for the insects. He said: "I've been interested in nature since I was a child and I've always had an eye for wildlife, especially insects. "Praying mantids are my favourite because of their special predatory behaviour, shapes and colours".

Silk production - from worm to catwalk, southern India - 2010
SILK PRODUCTION - FROM WORM TO CATWALK
For many silk - the Queen of all fabrics - spells luxury, elegance, class and comfort.
But for hundreds of thousands of people in India it is something much more mundane but infinitely important - a vital life line.
An estimated 700,000 people are involved in various sericulture (silk production) activities in India.
Half of all the silk produced in India comes from the region of Karnataka where a sub-tropical climate allows for year-round production.
In 2007-08 India exported more than GBP 400 million of raw silk, carpets and ready made garments.
In 2007 alone it produced 18,320 metric tonnes of raw silk, making it the second a largest silk producer in the world.
It is second only behind China, which produced 108,420 metric tonnes of raw silk in the same period.
While the difference is vast, India's contribution is even more impressive considering that much of its production is done using outdated tools or by hand.
Ultimately, however, poor technology and high production costs undermine the vital role played by sericulture in improving India's rural economy.
The Worm
The Silkworm Seed Production Centre in Mysore is run by Professor N.M. Biram Saheb.
He explains that the Indian government pioneered the provision of disease free lays of eggs as a way of improving yields without increasing start-up costs
The practice means that farmers are provided with a steady stream of healthy silkworm eggs.
It is deep in the seed production centre where the 'work' of creating these eggs takes place - in darkened rooms where moths are laid out on newspaper in racks of plastic trays.
Powerhouses of the silk industry they may be, but in reality they are pale weaklings whose only purpose is to mat...
