If one were to look closely
at a colorcommon butterflycolor, one
might notice that it's
covered in fine hairs...
reactionBut WHY would one look
closely?! pauseBlecccch!


reactionCreepiness aside, pauseone also
gets icky powder on one's
hands by touching thempause.pause.pause.pause
Not for me, eh wot?

2

We call them all coloryellow
butterfliescolor, but many
subspecies of this insect
exist, wot wot?
reactionIndeed, this fact makes
them rather interestingpause to
many researchers.

reactionpause.pause.pause.pauseWhat's rather interesting
to me is why anyone in
their proper mind would
take interest in the things.

Aside from the South Pole,
one can find colortiger butterflies

have you notpause.pause.pause.pause?
reactionHoo, yes, those would be
colorpeacock butterfliescolor, then.pressButton
reactionThey don't just sip nectar...pause
the beasts drink water, too.
reactionAnd in great, wretched
groups, no less!pause Blech!
pauseUtterly repugnant!

colorMonarch butterfliescolor are
quite colorful, aren't they?
pause.pause.pause.pauseAs it happens, pausethe colors
indicate they're poisonous!
reactionI certainly start to feel
queasy when I look at one.pressButton
sizeThough that happens with all bugs...

6

The coloremperor butterflycolor's
beautiful blue markings
make it a popular gift in
certain parts of the world.
reactionHoo, yes, wonderful giftpause.pause.pause.pause
Such gift givers should
have their heads examined,
I should thinkpause.pause.pause.

7

I must commend you for
catching this particular
type of butterfly!

reactionThe coloragrias butterflycolor's
atypical flight pattern has
earned it the nickname
"King of the Butterflies."
reactionIt's such a swift flier that
most enthusiasts who
attempt to catch one rely
on traps, eh wot?
reactionI daresay I'd lose a race
with this flittering thingpause.pause.pause.pause
sizeThough I'd likely pass out from
mortal revulsion first.

pause.pause.pause.pauseI must say, I'm quite
impressed pausewith your ability to
catch such an impressive
butterflypause.pause.pause.
colorreactioncolorThe colorRaja Brooke butterflycolor,
I must tell you,pause is one of the
larger tiger butterflies.

reactionNaturally,pause its antennae and
proboscis also rank as
some of the largest around.

reactionBe not proud,pause vile beast!
Your cute red collar and
fancy name do not fool
Blathers!

9

Hoo my, what a butterflypause.pause.pause.pause
reactionI now see why it's touted
as the world's largest
butterfly, eh wot?
reactionI'd heard the wings of this
particular butterfly can
extend over a footpause.pause.pause.pausebut up
close, they look bigger still!
reactionIf one of these flew into me
while I was out flyingpause.pause.pause.pause
I'd likely pass out in horror
and plummet on the spot.

10

Many people hate moths,
yet love butterflies,pause reactionbut the
truth is that both belong to
the order Lepidoptera.
reactionSince both are covered in
unspeakable veins and foul
powder, I suggest they are
equally distastefulpause.pause.pause.

11

While the coloroak silk mothcolor has
impressively large wings,
it's said that this moth isn't
a very skilled flier.pause
reactionpause.pause.pause.pauseI should think that might
be the reason it developed
such big, vulgar eyeballspause.pause.pause.

12

colorHoneybeescolor are rather
famous among bees for the
impressive teamwork they
exhibit, eh wot?
reactionI've even heard that they
will swarm over enemies
many times their size in an
attempt to suffocate them.
reactionI must admit, it makes them
seem rather like a bunch of
brave warriorspause.pause.pause.

reactionEven so, when I imagine a
massive swarm of bees, a
different phrase comes to
mindpause.pause.pause.pause "BLEEECCCH!"

13

It can be quite dangerous
to receive a large dose of
colorbee colorvenom--for example,
by being stung.
reactionThat said, did you know
that same substance is
actually used in some
women's perfumes?
colorreactioncolorIndeed! A potent venom
and a potent perfumepause.pause.pause.pause
Which do you suppose is
more devastating, wot?

14

Female colorlong locustscolorpause are a
great deal bigger than their
male counterparts.

reactionOf course, gender aside,
these locusts are large in
general,pause hence the name.

reactionI must say, regular locusts
are rather creepy enough.pause
Being longer simply makes
these ones even creepier.

15

Ah, hoo, colormigratory locustscolor.
As their name suggests,
they fly far...reactionquite far, in
point of fact.color
reactioncolorThese insects will fly as a
group into fields, pausedevour all
the crops, and pausecompletely
devastate the land.
reactionJust one of these beasts is
sufficiently horrifying,pause so
imagine how abominable a
swarm would bepause.pause.pause.pause Blech!

16

Tell me, string, have
you ever seen the egg case
of acolor mantiscolor?

reactionIt's not much to look at,
really. pauseJust a little sac
about the size of your fist.pause
It's not even all that vilepause.pause.pause.
reactionBut come spring, it
bursts asunder and
hundreds of baby mantises
spring forth!
reactionI daresay my issues with
bugs began when one such
egg case ruptured within
my desk.pause The horrorpause.pause.pause.

17

The colororchid mantiscolorpause has the
awful habit of disguising
itself as a flower in order
to avoid its enemies.
reactionpause.pause.pause.pauseI say "awful" because
of how revolting it is
to touch a flower and feel
pausethe belly of a mantis!
reactionOh, it was so soft and vile!pressButton
reactionBlech!pause The memories!pause I try
to suppress them, but they
always come flooding back!

18

Ah, hoo, the colorbrown cicadacolor.pause
The call of this creature is
said to sound like hot oil
sputtering, eh wot?
reactionI'm rather not sure that
hearing the sound of deep-
frying on a hot summer
night is a pleasant thing...

19

Fittingly enough, pausethe
colorrobust cicadacolor can issue a
robust, loud chirp...and it
does so quite often.
reactionI've heard this beastie's
impertinent cry so often
that I've grown rather good
at imitating it.pause reactionListen!
reactionChiiirp! sizeChiiirp! Chisizeisizeirpause.pause.pause.

20

Apparently,pause colorwalker cicadascolor
cry out in an attempt to
obscure the calls of other,
similar cicadas.
reactionI should think that to the
average fellow, it just
sounds like the cicadas are
merely singing together.
reactionIn any case, pauseI don't suggest
looking for them.pause Their
voices may fascinate, but
their faces nauseate!

21

colorEvening cicadascolor got their
name from their tendency
to start crying once it
starts getting dark out.
reactionInterestingly enough, these
creatures apparently will
also cry on an overcast day
if it gets dark enough.
reactionpauseDon't be fooled by their
lovely voices, however.pause
They are quite disgusting
to gaze uponpause.pause.pause.

22

It's said that a diet of sap
from the lychee tree makes
the bodily fluids of the
colorlantern flycolor sweet.
reactionIt's also said the proper
way to try them is to break
off the tips of the horns
and sip them like strawspause.pause.pause.
reactionIt's ALSO said that anyone
who does those things ispause
officially googly-boogly
out of his or her mind.

23

Since colorred dragonfliescolor can't
regulate their body
temperatures, pausereactionthey only
come out in the fall.colorpause
colorreactionThey actually perish when
the heat climbs over 86
degrees Fahrenheit.pressButtonreaction pauseNo
summer fun for them, wot?

24

At first glance, the colordarner
dragonflycolor, like all dragonflies,
appears to be quite a sleek
bug,pause wot?
reactionBut in its larval stage, this
bug is a beastly little
carnivorepause.pause.pause.

reactionI suppose if one were being
eaten, one wouldn't care if
whoever was doing the
devouring looked sleek...

25

colorBanded dragonfliescolor are
rather flashypause.pause.pause.pause reactionJust look at
those piercing green eyes.pressButton
The black and yellow body!
Not to mention their sheer
size and--reactionOH, HORRORS!pause
The beast is looking right
at me! pauseLook away, fiend!

26

Hootie hoo! pauseIt's like looking
at a living ancestor of
today's dragonflies!pressButton
reactionsizeA vile ancestorpause.pause.pause.
sizereactionIt's so big that when I tell
people I spotted one, no
one wants to believe me.pause
reactionFolks claim I'm being daft.
reactionIt's understandable, wot?pause
When I look at this thing, I
think I might very well BE
hallucinating...

27

Most people seem to regard
colorantscolor as peaceful creatures,
but the truth is that they're
quite savage insects, wot?
reactionIndeed, when I was but a
fledgling, I once sat on an
ant nest by accident.

reactionThe wretched things set
upon me within moments.pause
My poor tail feathers took
forever to grow backpause.pause.pause.

28

Some say colorpond skaterscolor
smell like candy.pause Which
means someone took the
time to sniff one.
reactionpause.pause.pause.pauseWhich meanspause I just lost
any appetite I might ever
have for candypause.pause.pause.

29

While they're marginally
less odious as adultspause.pause.pause.colordive
beetlescolor are horrific in their
larval stage!
reactionThese wretched youths are
twice the size of the adults
and wield a large poison
barb.pausepressButtonreaction Foul villainy!
reactionThen again, pauseI suppose the
adults aren't much better.pause
They're both completely
objectionable, reallypause.pause.pause.

30

Ah, pauseif you didn't know,
here's a fact for youpause.pause.pause.pause
Removing a colorsnailcolor's shell
doesn't make it a slug!
reactionIf you did try to pull off a
colorsnailcolor's shell--which I
surely DO NOT condone--
its insides would spill outpause.pause.pause.
reactionI...pausejust got a mental picture
of that.pause I fear I shall never
eat again!

31

Ah, hoopause.pause.pause.pauseindeed. reactionpausecolorCrickets
colordo have a lovely chirp, I
must grudgingly admit.

reactionStill, that black body, those
long feelerspause.pause.pause.pause How do
people love these pausewhen
they resemblepause.pause.pause.THOSE?
reactionI bet one couldn't even tell
the difference between a
cricket and a cockroach in
the dark of nightpause.pause.pause.

32

colorBell cricketscolor top my list of
insects one should never
look at directlypause.pause.pause.

reactionSuch a vision of horror!pause
A slick black body, long
antennae, and foul wings
that shake when it chirps!
reactionBlech!pause How can one be
expected to abide such an
odious monster?!

33

Have you ever noticed that
these little fellows have a
tendency to easily lose or
break a leg?
reactionHoo, yes, you catch one in
your net, but in doing so
you pop off a leg.pause Then you
grow sad and nauseated.
reactionAnd thenpause the broken-off
leg keeps kicking despite
being no longer attached!
pauseAnd then you flee in terror!

34

As both colormole cricketscolor and
moles dig holes, it's said
many parts of their bodies
evolved on similar pathspause.pause.pause.
reactionBut the mole is nowhere
near as off-putting as this
bugpause.pause.pause.pausepressButton reactionHow could they be?
Moles don't have antennae.

35

As you can see, colorwalking
leafscolor are extremely
proficient at mimicking the
appearance of leaves.
reactionWhat torments me is this:
they also EAT leavespause.pause.pause.pressButton
reactionDo they look at one another
and think, "mmmmmmmm"?

36

colorWalkingstickscolor can skillfully
disguise themselves as
twigs or thin branches.pause
What deceptive wretches!
reactionJust imagine going to grab
what you thought was a
twig and having it go
SQUISH in your handpause.pause.pause.
reactionSuch epic foulness!pause Just
thinking about that dark
day gives me owl bumps!

37

In time, a colorbagwormcolor
transforms into a bagworm
moth, eh wot?

reactionpauseThe bagworm's casingpause is
really rather unfashionable,pause
bordering on hideous.

reactionpauseAh, but by sticking wool
threads into the colorbagwormcolor's
casing, pauseyou can make a
little 100%-wool coat for it!
reactionOf course, pausethat would be
mad.pause And inside that wool
coat would be a big moth,
which no one needspause.pause.pause.

38

Mad as it sounds, I find a

cluster in cold weather.
reactionIf you were to flip over a
rock in winter, you might
see the underside crawling

reactionBleeeech!pause The very thought
gives me the quivers!

39

I've heard this bug got its
name because its body
resembles a violinpause.pause.pause.pause

reactionI'm not so sure, though.



reactionAll slick and black and
shinypause.pause.pause.pausereaction If you were to ask
me,pause it looks rather more
like an awful locustpause.pause.pause.

40

The multiple varieties and
colorful body types of the
colorlonghorn beetlecolorpause make it
popular with collectors.
reactionIt stands toe-to-toe with
the dynastid and stag
beetles in its popularity
with children, eh wot?
reactionBut those long, skinny legs
and long antennae drop it
right off this owl's list!pause
How utterly revoltingpause.pause.pause.pause

41

These beetles are also
known as scarabspause and were
once revered in some parts
of the world.
reactionLooking at it now,pause I must
admit there IS something a
bit refined about its
antennae and legspause.pause.pause.pause

42

Many theories exist as to
why colorfireflies colorcan glow, pausebut
we've yet to find a clear
answer, eh wot?
reactionThe answer is not nearly so
relevant as the fact that
they are bugs,pausereaction and
therefore wretched.

43

colorFruit beetlescolor resemble
short, squatpause versions of
dynastid beetles.

reactionBut aren't dynastid beetlespause
a type of colorfruit beetlecolor?pressButton reactionI
suppose it's all a popularity
contest, in the endpause.pause.pause.

44

From the gorgeous to the
grotesque,pause the fruit-beetle
family has a wide variety
of members, indeedpause.pause.pause.
reactionAmong them, the shiniest
by far is the colorscarab beetlecolor.


reactionNot that it makes any bit of
difference to me.pause If it has
antennae, it's most
unconscionably vilepause.pause.pause.

45

The Japanese name for the
colorjewel beetlecolor inspired their
word for iridescence.pressButton
reactionMakes sense, I suppose...
reactionSince the beetles keep
their color after death,
it's said their bodies were
worn as jewelry long ago.
reactionDo you suppose they left
the legs and antennae on
the bodies when they wore
them? pause.pause.pause.pauseBlech.

46

With its thick, bumpy,
armorlike exoskeleton,pause the
colorMiyama stag beetlecolor is quite
popular with children.
reactionHowever, the truth is, this
beetle is fragile enough to
perish from injuries we'd
usually consider minor.
reactionIndeed, it appears this
beetle suffers from a case
of rather too much barkpause
and too little bite.

47

The colorsaw stag beetlecolor's most
distinguishing feature is
its large, curved jaw, wot?

reactionThe larger the specimen,pause
the more teeth in its jaw.
Among collectors, the teeth
settle a specimen's worth.
reactionI don't suppose bugs have
dentists.pause.pause.pause pauseHoo, I'm quite
sure that would be the
worst job of all time.

48

The colorgiant beetle colorboasts a
massive horn,pause and yet it's
said this bug is actually
something of a milquetoast.
reactionApparently this bug would
prefer to stay inside where
other creatures won't
bother it.pause How precious.
reactionEven I could handle being
near such a shy insect!pressButton
sizeI shan't be touching it, thoughpause.pause.pause.

49

colorRainbow stagscolor have the
honor of being called the
world's most beautiful stag
beetles, eh wot?
reactionEven the insect's belly has
this rainbow design,pause making
it one of the less vile
bugs I've encountered.
reactionIn fact, this may be the
only insect whose
underside I can view
without retchingpause.pause.pause.reaction

50

The calling card of the
colorcyclommatuscolor is its pair of
mandibles, which are
usually as long as its body.
reactionAnother interesting fact is
that the bug hates heatpause
and will usually perish in a
non-air-conditioned room.
reactionI can sympathize, eh wot?pause
Leaving the sanctum of the
museum for the summer
heat is simply wretched.

51

Though less dramatically
shaped than most stag
beetlespause, reactionthis bug's gold,
shiny color makes up for it!
reactionAnother notable point
about the species is the
friendly way males and
females interact.
reactionThe most successful
families are the ones that
get along best, eh wot?pause
Well donepause.pause.pause.vile bugs.

52

The colordynastid beetlecolor has a
reputation as king of the
forest, but this king is not
without enemies, eh wot?
reactionMany species hunt this
beetle. Examples include
moles, crows, and owlspause.pause.pause.pausefun_06
reactionsizeWOT WOT?!

53

Crowned with three horns,pause
the coloratlas beetlecolor is known as
the strongest of the
dynastid beetles.
reactionBlech, pauseI wonder if it had
three horns when it was
in its larval formpause.pause.pause.

reactionI simply loathe larvae. All
squishy and squirmypause.pause.pause.pausepressButton
Nightmarish, really.

54

True to its namesake,pause the

the heaviest of all the
dynastid beetles.

parents that big, the babies
are also accordingly huge.pressButton
reactionAbout the size of your fist!

of those monstrous larvae!pause
The horror of it all!

55

Hoo nowpause.pause.pause.pause The largest
dynastid beetle around!pressButtonreaction
I must say, pausethose horns
are simply magnificent!
reactionDynastid beetles move
fairly slowly, so you're free
to view them at your
own pace, eh wot?
reactionI must heartily endorse any
insect that has the decency
to move slowly and
predictably.pause Well done!

56

colorGoliath beetlescolor are a
variety of fruit beetle with
a very long scientific name.

reactionAs stands to reason, given
their name, pausereactionthese beetles
are incredibly strong.

reactionBeyond that morsel of
knowledge, I know little,
because they utterly
REPULSE mepause.pause.pause.

57

Hoo now, have you ever
had a chance to look at a
colorflea colorup close and personal?pressButton
reactionThey're utterly noisome!
reactionEspecially vulgar are their
flattened bodies, which
allow them to wriggle into
all sorts of places.
reactionOh, mercy, pauseI may need to

fleas has me rather woozy.

scientists may develop new

60

pause.pause.pause.pauseHoo, pauseare you aware that
colorflies coloralso serve as an

more than a bug that just
flies around dumpsters!

Foulness!pause Hold a moment.pause
I do rather poorly with
shiny, wriggly, wretched
creatures like this one.

to make an owl faint.
reactionThey're quite docile beasts,pause
and it's documented that

wonder if the experts might
be wrong, eh wot?!

64

pause.pause.pause.colorpauseScorpions colorare assuredly
attention getters.pressButton reactionThey've
got those colors that say,pause
"Stay back! I'm poisonous!"

usually as long as its body.
reactionAnother interesting fact is
that the bug hates heatpause
and will usually perish in a
non-air-conditioned room.
reactionI can sympathize, eh wot?pause
Leaving the sanctum of the
museum for the summer
heat is simply wretched.

51

Though less dramatically
shaped than most stag
beetlespause, reactionthis bug's gold,
shiny color makes up for it!
reactionAnother notable point
about the species is the
friendly way males and
females interact.
reactionThe most successful
families are the ones that
get along best, eh wot?pause
Well donepause.pause.pause.vile bugs.

The colordynastid beetlecolor has a
reputation as king of the

Crowned with three horns,pause
the coloratlas beetlecolor is known as
the strongest of the
dynastid beetles.
reactionBlech, pauseI wonder if it had
three horns when it was
in its larval formpause.pause.pause.

reactionI simply loathe larvae. All
squishy and squirmypause.pause.pause.pausepressButton
Nightmarish, really.

54

True to its namesake,pause the

the heaviest of all the
dynastid beetles.
reactionAs you might imagine, with
parents that big, the babies
are also accordingly huge.pressButton
reactionAbout the size of your fist!
reactionSuch foulness!pause Just think
of those monstrous larvae!pause
The horror of it all!

55

Hoo nowpause.pause.pause.pause The largest
dynastid beetle around!pressButtonreaction
I must say, pausethose horns
are simply magnificent!
reactionDynastid beetles move
fairly slowly, so you're free
to view them at your
own pace, eh wot?
reactionI must heartily endorse any
insect that has the decency
to move slowly and
predictably.pause Well done!

56

colorGoliath beetlescolor are a
variety of fruit beetle with
a very long scientific name.

reactionAs stands to reason, given
their name, pausereactionthese beetles
are incredibly strong.

reactionBeyond that morsel of
knowledge, I know little,
because they utterly
REPULSE mepause.pause.pause.

57

Hoo now, have you ever
had a chance to look at a
colorflea colorup close and personal?pressButton
reactionThey're utterly noisome!
reactionEspecially vulgar are their
flattened bodies, which
allow them to wriggle into
all sorts of places.
reactionOh, mercy, pauseI may need to
sit on the floor for a
moment.pause All this talk of
fleas has me rather woozy.

58

pause.pause.pause.pauseHoo, yes, pauseare you aware
that colormosquitos colorserve as a
vital source of information
for the academic world?
reactionIndeed, many germs live
inside of colormosquitoscolor and use
them to travel across the
entire globe.
reactionBy understanding the living
hosts to these germs, pause
scientists may develop new
treatments, eh wot?

pause.pause.pause.pauseHoo, pauseare you aware that
colorflies coloralso serve as an
important source of data
for the academic world?color
colorreactionTheir simple structures
make them rather ideal
organisms to use in
many experiments, wot?
reactionSo remember,pause next time
you see a fly, know that it's
more than a bug that just
flies around dumpsters!

61

Foulness!pause Hold a moment.pause
I do rather poorly with
shiny, wriggly, wretched
creatures like this one.
reactionIndeed, colorcentipedes colorare
quite fast to boot, wot?pressButton
reactionIf the beast attacks us, how
will we flee to safety?
reactionMoreover, they have hard
shells, so we can't stop it

reactionWe're doomed!

62

Horrors! pauseMy apologies, but
I get rather jumpy around
fast, multilegged critters
like this one, eh wot?

colorspiders colorhave eight eyes!pause
Even when it looks away, it
can see our every move!
reactionI've heard some places

63

pauseHoo, such foul fuzziness!pause
And have you seen how
fast they move?pressButton reactionIt's enough
to make an owl faint.
reactionThey're quite docile beasts,pause
and it's documented that
they rarely attack peoplepause.pause.pause.

reactionBut when I look at them up
close like this, I start to
wonder if the experts might
be wrong, eh wot?!

pause.pause.pause.colorpauseScorpions colorare assuredly
attention getters.pressButton reactionThey've
got those colors that say,pause
"Stay back! I'm poisonous!"
reactionHowever, pauseit seems only a
tiny group of scorpions
have venom lethal enough
to off you with one sting.
reactionMischievous scorpions that
look like highly poisonous
ones probably fooled folks
into thinking otherwise.
