Speaking of beetles..................

"The Creator would appear as endowed with a passion for stars, on the one hand, and for beetles on the other, for the simple reason that there are nearly 300,000 species of beetle known, and perhaps more, as compared with somewhat less than 9,000 species of birds and a little over 10,000 species of mammals. Beetles are actually more numerous than the species of any other insect order. That kind of thing is characteristic of nature."
-J. B. S. Haldane

“I have my own views about Nature's methods, though I feel that it is rather like a beetle giving his opinions upon the Milky Way.”
-Arthur Conan Doyle

"When beetles fight these battles in a bottle with their paddles and the bottle's on a poodle and poodle's eating noodles......they call this a muddle puddle tweetle poodle beetle noodle bottle paddle battle."
-Dr. Seuss as excerpted from Fox In Socks

"We can, for example, be fairly confident that either there will be a world without war or there won't be a world - at least, a world inhabited by creatures other than bacteria and beetles, with some scattering of others."
-Noam Chomsky

O, I do fear thee, Claudio; and I quake,
Lest thou a feverous life shouldst entertain,
And six or seven winters more respect
Than a perpetual honour. Darest thou die?
The sense of death is most in apprehension;
And the poor beetle, that we tread upon,
In corporal sufferance finds a pang as great
As when a giant dies.
-William Shakespeare, Measure for Measure

"It's hard to believe that the same God who created butterflies, created dung beetles. Maybe there are multiple Gods after all. "
-Prabhudoss Samuel

"I've read a lot of court cases and media accounts about how innocent people wind up getting shot by police officers, and you'll take my word for it that none of them had anything to do with beetle collectors."
-Harry Zirlin
