And since it is a crab spider, it is not an insect. Its an arachnid.

The bee, however, is an insect.

Oh, and its a really pretty shot, too..

Yeah, my fault for using the word insect as a general term for creepy crawly things... I knew it was wrong, but was lazy. sorry.

Heh, too many letters.. I like to use "bug" for the generic term... my wife prefers "critter" or when she's really upset by it "creepy crawlie"
