The Darwin Centre is due to open at the Natural History Museum. It will house over 20 million plant and insect specimens and will reveal to the public for the first time the collections, scientists and research that has been going on behind the scenes for over 100 years. To discuss some of the work that is carried out there, Jane is joined by Yvonne Linton, an entomologist working on the mosquito bar-coding project; and Amoret Whittaker, a forensic entomologist who studies fly larvae and their development within decaying flesh and often gives essential evidence in court in hearings for cases of suspicious deaths. The Darwin Centre will open to the public on Tuesday 15 Septemberr, 2009
