5.2. That bugs me!
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.

Just wondering if this book would count (if you squint you can see some ants on the leaves) :) The Darkest Part of the Woods by Ramsey Campbell

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?

"bug" in the title is fine.

chucklesthescot On the provided list there is a Red Passion Flower Butterfly mentioned. Does this mean we can use red or passion or flower in our book title? I was looking at using Red Hot Fury.

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

Soelo | 117 comments Can I use the word Fly if it is not referring to the insect? Like Fly Away Home or Expecting to Fly?

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.
