I realize that sometimes I tend to be long-winded, especially when it comes to my favorite subject: bugs! I could go on all day about behavior, life cycles, morphology, etc… but most of the time, there are no words to describe the things that we get to see here! I’ve decided, for this blog, to give my keyboard a break and show you guys some of my favorite photos from behind the scenes. So, for those of you that are more visually stimulated, here is a small glimpse of some of the beautiful, colorful, expressive, and amazing faces that we get to see everyday, enjoy!

Well, there you have it! I would love to hear back about which picture is your favorite! If you’ve enjoyed looking at these photos, you should check out the HMNS Flickr page! We would love for you to add your own memories from the halls or exhibits of HMNS. Just go to http://flickr.com/groups/hmns/, join the group, and start adding your photos to the pool – we pick one a month to feature here, as well.
Also, should you ever find an unknown insect take a photo of it and send it to us at blogadmin@hmns.org to have it possibly featured here on the blog.
