Insect (Invertebrates) Blog. Selected by Feedspot panelists as one of the Top 25 Entomology Blogs on the web. Inverting is observing, experiencing the multitude, the diversity - the daily lives of insects. No bones about it, I am an inverter, an ambassador, and an advocate of the joy of observing insects.
