As the days get shorter, I need to get psychologically prepared to say goodbye to some of my animal companions.
I come from a long line of insomniacs. Growing up, after tossing and turning for hours, my dad would make at least one nightly pilgrimage into the kitchen in search of a little snack to help him sleep.
Images of boll weevils, potato bugs and leaf beetles hardly help the general public to nurture their fondness for beetles. Suffice it to say that there is no shortage of beetles on the planet, as they make up the largest order of insects and are adaptable enough to dwell in diverse environments.
