“Think about it, Ed. … The class Insecta contains 26 orders, almost 1,000 families, and over 750,000 described species—but I can’t shake the feeling we’re all just a bunch of bugs.”

Talking myself off the edge from captioning this one “insecta ride SEPTA” because bad news, probably true, but it’s not the Insecta you want to encounter, and also it makes no sense as a pro-transit message. Overall terrible but it’s infected my brain.

🪲 Insecta maderensia;.
London, J. Van Voorst, 1854..

[Source]
Historical scientific illustration titled "Insecta Maderensia" (1854), depicting nine detailed beetle species from the Insecta class. The image shows nine colorful beetles arranged in three rows, each labeled with numbers and scientific names beneath. Surrounding the beetles are fine pencil sketches of anatomical parts like antennae, legs, and mouthparts, highlighting specific structural details. The beetles vary in shape and color, including green, black, reddish, and brown tones, with visible segmentation, detailed legs, and antennae. The page has a beige background, with careful attention to entomological accuracy typical of 19th-century natural history art.
