	For the last few weeks, a strange visitor has been staying in the lost village of Puerto Nuevo, located right in the middle of the impenetrable forests of inland Venezuela. Not only does he show interest solely in insects, but he has set his mind on initiating the village children into entomology. Mission impossible? Not necessarily, especially if that visitor is a popularizer of Georges Brossard's calibre. Georges's young students have access to the best classroom ever: the tropical forest. The first lesson: "What is an insect?" Children quickly discover that insects are indeed animals. By catching and handling a giant beetle, they learn the basic notions of anatomy. Georges then initiates his disciples into the art of using a butterfly net and of digging a hole in a tree stump to find beetles. He even teaches them an old hunter's trick: how to catch a tarantula! Georges's young apprentices make great progress, catching more and more insects and learning to classify them according to the various insect families. Without realizing it, swarm of insects becomes more orderly, even for the viewer. So there you have it: entomology can really be child's play.
