“…While the initial focus was on the moments ''when species meet'' (Haraway) or on tracing non-human ''presences'' in urban centres (Hinchliffe et al, 2005), more recent academic work has turned its attention to more troubled forms of multispecies coexistence: focusing on dangerous encounters between humans and wolfs (Buller, 2008), humans and cougars (Collard, 2012), the ''volatile ecologies'' that bind humans, elephants and alcohol together (Barua, 2013), or on ''inhuman nature'' and its disasters (Clark, 2011), such as tsunamis (Tironi and Farías, 2015). But it does not need overtly aggressive animals or exuberant physical forces to create uncomfortable human-nonhuman entanglements, more-than-human relations with more harmless or less visibly aggressive creatures can be ''awkward'' too Beisel et al, 2013). As Nading shows Aedes mosquitoes, humans and the dengue virus are deeply entangled with ''changes in bodies reverberate through landscapes, and vice versa'' (Nading, 2014: 10).…”

“…In this paper, following Uli Beisel and her colleagues, we will “permit insects to be our guides and our provocation” (Beisel et al., , p. 34). We begin by examining the life cycle of the hoverfly Pocota personata as a portal into saproxylic geographies and the cultural and ecological significance of old trees.…”

“…Human-insect and human-plant connections garner relatively little attention in political ecology and animal geography (Ginn 2014;Head and Atchison 2009). Yet, these relations can inform how public commons and private spaces are designed and managed (Beisel et al 2013;Shaw et al 2010;Whatmore 2006). Insects and their functional roles in the biosphere are woven into critical debates about food production, agricultural security, and human health.…”
