Have you ever stopped and looked at all the wonderful different species in the world? There's a creature for everything. From small and crusty, to big and soft, to humans, fish, and everything in between. We touch earth, sky, ground, and even underground. You can travel to the most desolate or dismal parts of the world and you'll still come across some type of lifeforce. Whether you're a dog person or a cat person, the amount of insects on the earth won't change, so better to be in tune with all their strangeness.

If you're someone who loves to appreciate our differences, then you'll be absolutely keen on these strange but adorable insects. Insects are some of the most fascinating and diverse creatures on earth. From the delicate wings of butterflies to the glowing bodies of fireflies, they show us an incredible variety of forms, colors, textures, and behaviors. Here at the Animal Comedy office we love insects and spiders that appear in the corner of our ceilings.

Comment below if you can name these unique, interesting, and beautiful insects. We all know about bird watchers, but what about insect watchers? I'd argue they're just as interesting and thought-provoking as birds, maybe even more so.
