About This Item

Since there are reportedly more beetle species than any other living group of organisms on earth, it might be said that "beetles rule". It is estimated that there are more than 300,000 species world-wide and around 24,000 U.S. species. Fortunately most are much smaller than this one!

Write note 10/6/2008 GC alum posted a note for it   Visit Log

The distinguished British geneticist [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._B._S._Haldane]J.B.S. Haldane[/url] was asked, "You have spent a lifetime gazing into the face of Nature. Can you tell us what you have learned about the mind of God?"

Haldane puzzled over this for a minute. "I'm really not sure," he said, "except that He must have an inordinate fondness for beetles."

This is one BIG bug! Two months is long enough for him to sit out here so I'll give him a ride out.
