Webphemera has a great gallery of many species of insects making the beast with two backs, 18 legs and 96 eyes.

Wow. And on the same day I discovered Isabella Rossellini's Green Porno videos. Apparently, today's a good day to learn about bug sex.

(If you haven't seen them, http://www.sundancechannel.com/greenporno/. They're really something.)

I found a Flickr group called "Bug Porn" a while back, and the pictures are strangely fascinating.

How is it that ladybugs can be so *cute* even when they are gettin' it on?

Isabella Rossellini does it better.

Which bugs have 9 legs again?
