Emerging Guardians displays the innate fear of insects to many of us in the modern world. While our environmental consciousness has increased, we often overlook one of the cornerstones of our ecosystems: insects. If we are to continue working toward a more environmentally friendly future, we need to look toward those who tend to the earth.
