    Having read Hanuman's post about posting (TYVM!), here's a post that
    might be marginal. It's just so fascinating, though. I have a great
    interest in the insect world - it is evolution in front of your eyes,
    for one. So, lately, through a long, boring train of thought, I was
    led to this site: 

    http://www.insect-sale.com 

    They are in Taiwan, and sell mounted (dead) insects of all kinds, and
    also some shells. They claim, and I believe them, to have the largest
    collection of insect photographs on the web - many thousands. It is
    interesting as insects, of course. The reason I'm posting here is
    because there are thousands of top-quality, high res pics of the most
    beautiful insects and butterflies you'll ever see (all copyrighted -
    no right click). It's like walking through a garden, but it's insects
    instead of flowers. Whether you like bugs or not, it's a great site
    just for the beauty of nature. If it were me, I might start with the
    grasshoppers, then maybe cicadas or jewel beetles, and of course
    there's the butterflies...... I'm not endorsing the sale of dead bugs
    or not, it's just there. I will point out that butterfly farming,
    which let's them die naturally by design, is a thriving business in
    the third world... This may seem a little strange, but take a look,
    you'll see...
