Butterflies are probably my most favorite insect. Besides being beautiful, they are important pollinators.

Bugs have become such a part of today's vernacular and they've even made their way into the world of computer technology.

Who hasn't said at least one of these?

~ They are a little buggy.
~ That REALLY bugs me!
~ Putting a bug in your ear.
~ Don't let the bed bugs bite.
~ Snug as a bug in a rug.

So many expressions for such little creatures.
