Insects

Insects make up more than half of all known animal species, and we are working our way through them one order at a time. You will find guides to the major orders — beetles, true bugs, flies, bees, wasps, butterflies and moths — alongside articles on insect anatomy, life cycles, the strangest specimens on Earth (yes, including the ugliest), and the entomology books actually worth reading. There is also a healthy collection of pieces about insects as pets, because some people, including me, find that perfectly normal.
