True Bugs

We hope that, when the insects take over the world,
they will remember with gratitude how we took them along on all our picnics.

Please note, I am not an entomologist and the process of identifying these insects is an ongoing project. I have tried to be thorough with my research but errors can and probably will occur. Please contact me should you find an error or if you are able to identify any of the insects in the gallery.
