Bugs make my skin crawl and I'm a bit squeamish, but boy do I love your site! I can't believe how interested I am in bugs now! I've added your blog to my favourites and I'll be checking here often. Thanks for opening my eyes to how cool the little guys really are. Hi Kelley,

I participated in a "bugs for thugs" program back in my university days. Your photographs are excellent. I turned to video myself and have some 100+ hours of spectacular acts of nature that will some day be edited and published. If you are not aware there is a new site called insectgeeks.com. Your work would be viewed by those who would appreciate it most. Good luck and best wishes Tony (the Bug Whisperer) Hello Kelly,

I am an entomologist myself, and I am trying to start projects and things almost like this in a way. I would like to know how you were inspired to put a web page together. I also am curious about your speaking engagements, do you get paid to do that or are those free services? I am a Texan, but currently working in Florida on an invertebrate (insects) project. I find it very hard to find a type of job in this field who appreciate natures finest. Keep up the good work; I am trying to find a way to do something similar to what you’re doing as a career. Thanks for being a role model. If you don’t mind, I could use some advice in starting this. Thanks so much in advance Yvonne Hi Kelly!

We live in Northern MN and the snow keeps oming, but today it was warm. Right now my boys (9, 7, and almost 6) and I are studying entomology in Science (we homeschool) and I am going to use your site to supplement our studies. Thanks so much!

I have an insect mystery that is driving me nuts. I hope you can help. We just returned from a month in Madagascar. In Kirindy reserve near Morondava, I found a remarkable dead insect. I didn't photograph it because it was dead. Now I am kicking myself because I can't find it in any book or by googling its description. The insect looked like a praying mantis with blue wings and bright orange spikes covering its entire body. It was 3-4 inches in length. Any ideas? Dan http://makinet.ning.com Hi Kelley,

Let me just say first that I admire your work. My husband and I own a piece of land near Ek-Balam, it's close to 1,000 acres so if you ever want to go camp out there and study the bugs and butterflies let me know! I have to warn you, there are no facilities so it would be rough. We are planning to retire there in the near future. Keep up the good work! Hello Kelley,

I'll be a regular visitor and I'm going to post a link to your blog on mine, if that's okay. I too have a fascination with bugs and am constantly sticking a camera in their faces. Some try to get away, others just stare back at the 'big eye.' I always want to know what they are and spend lots of time googling to find out. Beautiful, beautiful images you've got here!
