Ah, bugs.
If Nature wanted to get into the business of crafts she would create a big box store filled with giant Hemipterans the size of cats (some kittens sized ones too, of course).
Instead, Nature sends them into our houses and gardens where we react without really looking and miss their inherent beauty. Sorry people, but the Birch Catkin Bug (Kleidocerys resedae) here glued to a fishhook, from Dorchester County, Maryland, is fabulously lovely in its colors and sculpturing patterns.
