	The wheel, agriculture and breeding: mankind's three greatest inventions? Wrong! The humble dung beetle invented the wheel while the ant invented agriculture and breeding. Insects are our planet's oldest inhabitants. It's not surprising that they have invented almost everything in fields as varied as communications, transportation, engineering and architecture. Oars, wings, jet engines, concrete, paper and cold light are all patents which rightfully belong to insects. How can an insect with a brain the size of a grain of sand become a brilliant inventor? Entomologist Georges Brossard answers this question through a series of surprising experiments which prove that not only can insects learn, but they also have a kind of innate knowledge. Insects definitely have a flair for invention...all they need now is a few good lawyers!
