As someone who has describe insects species we might alternately say "the evolutionary processes that lead to the anatomy of these creatures is mind-blowing".

As someone who has describe insects species we might alternately say "the evolutionary processes that lead to the anatomy of these creatures is mind-blowing". Find access to a 60x scope. Fill a yellow party bowl with water about 3/4 full. Put a drop or so of non-lemon dish-soap on the edge, it will break the surface tension. Put that bowl outside, literally anywhere there is plant life (and pretty much anywhere in general). Get an algae removing dip-net, for fish tanks. After a day, but no longer than that, pour the sample through the net. Rinse it carefully by running fresh water over your hand onto the specimens. Invert the result into a small, flat-bottomed white pan with a little ethyl (or propyl) alcohol you get from a pharmacy. Put that under the scope. Be amazed. I've seen a lot of minds melted by this little experiment, which isn't so little, it's the best way to collect many insects. In the field we'd run hundreds of these on collecting trips, servicing them every day or so.
