Trend Alert; A Bugs Life

I've been obsessing over bugs for a few weeks now and then I started seeing them every where! I love, love, love Alicia's necklace (below) and I saw that Zara also incorporated bugs into their new collection. I started planting them around in my house (see kitchen towel and pillow case). A little while ago I went to the Tropen Museum where I learned that about 90% of all animals in the Amazon are insects, very fascinating some more insect facts;

• Whereas all of Europe has some 321 butterfly species, the Manu National Park in Peru (4000 hectare-survey) has 1300 species, while Tambopata National Park (5500 hectare-survey) has at least 1231 species 
• Around 25% of the world's 2 million described animals species are beetles (Coleoptera).
• The Longhorn Beetle (Titanus giganteus) can have a body length (not including antennae) of over 6.5 inches (16 cm),
• A single square mile of rainforest often houses more than 50,000 insect species
• Some scientists estimate that 30% of the animal biomass of the Amazon Basin is made up of ants
