Roving Jewels

Varicoloured Insect Photos 
by Slovenian Photographer, Izidor Gasperlin
  
 
> One square mile of land reportedly contains more insects
  than the total number of human beings on the planet
> Centipedes in southern Europe are credited as the insect
  with the most legs, at 177 pairs in total
> The malaria carrying Anopheles mosquito is believed to be
  responsible for half of the human deaths since the Stone
  Age, outside of war and accidental death


 
Incidentally, my overly lifelike birthday present (above)
was the source of some controversy at Saturday night's proceedings.
