  6. Desert locust

    The desert locust is one of about a dozen species of grasshoppers known as locusts which - unlike other grasshoppers - are able to change their behaviour in response to population density. This enables them to form swarms that can migrate over large distances.

  9. Flowering plants

    Flowering plants evolved during the time of the dinosaurs, and enlisted the help of animals to transfer their pollen from one plant to another. The fact that many flowers are brightly coloured or have strong scents is not to please human senses, but to attract the insects, birds or other animals that will help pollinate them.
