Crazy and Cute Little Buggers

Introduction
Bugs. Bugs. Bugs.
Bugs can be in your head, your phone or in your computer.
They live under the bed, attend picnics and travel in pockets.
They eat us, our sweaters and our tomato plants.
We eat them. We serve them on dinner tables and in peanutbutter jars.
They live in lawns, in midnight air and the down under.
They are hooked, heeled and plastered on windshields.
Bugs are EVERYWHERE.
These are some cute little buggers and interesting trivia about bugkind.
