* Out of respect to our entomologist (and etymologist) friends, we would like to clarify that here we are using the colloquial term "insects." We certainly don't claim that all insects are bugs, and of course, spiders are decidedly not insects. But this would make for a much longer event description, and we wouldn't want to give away any spoilers.
