Ants are definitely insects - but if they're hard to see, be sure to point them out when you post.

Does it have to be a specific insect, or would you take the word "bug" in the title?

no, it has to be the actual name of a bug, not just an isolated word that doesn't describe a bug itself.

yes, the word is the name of a bug, so it works.

yes, "moth" is in the title in a way that preserves its sense as a bug,(as opposed to, say, a book with "smother" in the title, so that's okay.

About 900,000 living species of insects have been identified, representing over 80 percent of the total number of species on Earth. It has been estimated that there are far more species that have not been identified than that have � and that there may be anywhere from 2 million to 30 million different species of insects! Here's a list to help you start learning about insects - .
Read a book with an insect on the cover or in the title or subtitle. The word "bug" or "insect" will also work, as will a picture of a bug on the cover even if you can't exactly identify it!(NOTE � spiders are not insects!)
REQUIRED: If you use the cover option, you must post a picture of the cover.
Here's one list to get you started - Butterflies
The usual caveat applies to all lists - check to make sure your book of choice actually fits.
