TOTALLY COOL!

 
​​I call this section "TOTALLY COOL" because I want to introduce you to the incredible variety and beauty of insects within a selection of insect orders.  I have collected the insects by order so you can admire them, compare them, and for those who need to identify insects, name them. This “Coolest” section does not attempt to teach you how well insects are adapted to survive, but to show you their fantastic variety and beauty. ​

I have hundreds and hundreds of insect photos and I would like to share them. I have tried to limit my photos to those from the United States so you have the possibility of finding them.
