Welcome!

This is my little sideblog for sharing pictures and facts about bugs and other invertebrates!

These little guys are interesting, so easy to find, and most importantly they need our help in the face of our changing climate!

So come along, join the fun and celebrate some of our smallest wildlife critters!
