With over a million known species, and possibly ten times that many yet to be discovered, insects make up the vast majority of the planet’s diversity. They buzz, crawl, flit, hop, swim, hover, swarm, and inch their way in our urban cracks and crevices, in the undergrowth, through the air, in ponds and streams, and everywhere else. They are seen in turn as fascinating, beautiful, creepy, useful, pestilent, and, to some, inspiring.
