ARTHROPODS Don't Bug Me; Fact is, I Love 'em!
Arthropoda |rrpd| Zoology a large phylum of invertebrate animals that includes insects, spiders, crustaceans, and their relatives. They have a segmented body, an external skeleton, and jointed limbs, and are sometimes divided among several phyla.
There are probably more than ONE MILLION different species of Arthropods. I'm a few species short in my slideshow, but I'm working on it.

Diversity thy name is "ARTHROPODA".
I loved the series of the little critters...Wonderful Mac...Keep it up.
For the most part, Bugs are neat! They're so fascinating-- they look like robots, or aliens from outer space!
Great pictures, dear friend!
It's true! I think that is why they are so often used as models for sci-fi
Mac,
Great Photos! Lot's of neat creepy crawlies. Really enjoyed your artistry and your skill in getting these guys doing their thing.
Lobster, my favourite Arthropod. Delicious when broiled or steamed and dipped in melted butter.
In Classic Cinema, don't forget the scene from Annie Hall. (Come on, Woody, you KNOW they aren't Kosher.)
Most cool. Thanks.
I'm kind of looking forward to the emergence of the Cicada Army in the very near future. I've collected some recipes and am going to give a try at cooking some of those sucker up. Deep Fat Fried Cicada. Good for what ails you.
I am hoping that when the day comes and I stand nekkid and humbled before the Squirrely Gates the Deity in Charge will not be a Cockroach. If that turns out to be the case, I am in deep poot. I have spent a lifetime murdering cockroaches and palmetto bugs as Holy Mission and for sport. I guess I could use the excuse that was why God gave us pointy toed cowboy boots. For getting those suckers in corners.
I wear a face shield thus eliminating the necessity of inhaling various bugs. I did have a June Bug smack me right in the kisser once when I was running with my shield up. It hurt. And, left a welt.
When my cousin was a rug rat and flopping around on my grand maw's floor he ate a scorpion. It seemed to cause great consternation amongst the adults but us yard apes thought it was quite amusing. He turned out to be a Preacher. I blame that on scorpion eatin.
