	With their bright colours, their fantastic textures and their wonderful ornamental details, insects certainly represent the most remarkable artistic phenomenon on Earth. Insects are not only interesting for their scientific or economic value. More and more people are now aware of another value: their beauty. Entomologist Georges Brossard takes us right into the tropical forest to visit the Sequoias tribe, where craftsmen make sumptuous necklaces with shining leaf chafer shells. He then takes us on a tour of his friend George Foster's workshop, whose sculptures of giant insects amaze the world. Along with beetles and sculpture, there are also butterflies and pictorial art. Their wings are works of art which could be framed. They are a combination of fauvism, expressionism and abstract art. We do not know why and for whom insects make themselves beautiful? Let's not try to understand. Let ourselves simply be seduced by all these astonishing demonstrations of living art.
