Do you understand insects? The world of insects is far more colorful and intricate than most people might realize.

Some can withstand freezing temperatures while others prosper in extreme heat. The size range is also massive, from the fairy wasp (Dicopomorpha echmepterygis) at just 0.00139 centimeters (Julia Sklar, 2024) to the giant Chinese stick insect (Phryganistria chinensis) measuring a whopping 63.5 centimeters (Mayor, 2024).
