backA small but perfectly formed black box with two long, protruding wires stretching ten meters across, culminating in an array of sensors detecting the faintest supersonic vibrations caused by insects around it. Waterproof, rodent proof, ruggedly handsome, it stands stoically in fields across the UK, listening, for months at a time.
It isolates each frequency, searching for the unique sonic signatures of Britain's insects, separating them from the background noise of wind, storms and passing cars. When the National History Museum's researchers come by and collect the data, it tells them what it's heard since their last visit and allows them to monitor the prevalence and movements of species - rare and common alike.
