WELCOME TO OUR ‘BUGS’ CONTEST
Summer is coming, at least it is for those of us that exist in the northern hemisphere. We look forward every year to the return of warm days and warm nights, sunshine and poolside barbecues. But, just as every rose has its thorn, most would agree that the thorn growing out of summer’s side is a nasty, creepy, six-legged insect that you’re sure will nest, without much notice, in your hair.
This time around we are looking for your stories about bugs. You either love ’em or you hate ’em, and let’s face it, most of us hate ’em. They do, however, deserve their own horror spotlight. While there are seven -nearly 8 – billion people on earth, there are nearly 10 quintillion individual insects on the planet at any given time. That’s 10 with 18 zeroes by the way. Talk about demanding respect.
