	Insects are present in all of our planet's ecological niches. As if that was not enough, they can now be found in various branches of industries that used to be typically human. Medicine, robotics, even police investigations are all fields where we are finding more and more insects. Entomologist Georges Brossard takes us to Chinese drugstore in Asia and reveals to us the surprising medicinal properties of many insects. Insects are not only found in traditional Chinese medicine, they are also used today in our modern hospitals to save injured people from amputation and to relieve arthritic pain. Insects are even found in fields as specialised as robotics. To create futuristic robots and machines, more and more engineers are inspired by the wonderful mechanics of insects, improved by millions of years of research and development. Even the police call on insects to solve certain enigmas. Georges Brossard and his colleague, Dr. Baharudin, lead the investigation. Since the fly is often the first to arrive at the scene of a crime, this insect might reveal decisive facts to a legal entomologist. From now on, we should replace the famous "Elementary, my dear Watson" by "Elateridae, my dear Watson"!
