The appeal of insects
I recently wrote a column about the influence an entomologist can have on one’s appreciation for insects. The diversity of insect life is truly amazing and tends to get under your skin once you relearn how to notice it (kids notice bugs all the time).
Here is some proof. Photographs of insects have appeared in several of my blog posts from this year:
Five awesome things from this evening’s bluff hike
A visit to Buffalo Creek Wildlife Management Area
A visit to one of the newer public lands in western Nebraska
And here are some photographs from this year that haven’t made it into my blog:
And the source of my interest in insects, the Bugman himself, with his camera (I have lots of photos like this):
Gotta love insects. (Except bedbugs. And mosquitoes. And anything else that might suck my blood, bite me, or make me itch.) Gotta love pretty, harmless insects.
