Insect

Not to be confused with incest.

Insects are ~~scary~~ smallish critters, with six legs, three body sections, exoskeletons, and sometimes wings.

They are easy to kill with DDT, or if you can't get that, Chlordane, and if you can't get that, you can irritate them with Diazinon.

Insects are likely to be on the earth when man has become extinct.

The study of insects is called entomology (not to be confused with etymology).

“	A fly, Sir, may sting a stately horse and make him wince; but one is but an insect, and the other is a horse still.	”
—Samuel Johnson

“	God in His wisdom made the fly And then forgot to tell us why.	”
—Ogden Nash "The Fly"
