This is shocking!!!

I have no "special interest" in "bugs", but they are quite amazing, even
MONOCULAR! There are SO many species, the variety incredible! If you've
seen the incredible color images in the recent Beetles article in National
Geographic, it's hard to imagine saying "once you've seen one, you've seen
them all"! I can't think of ANY natural phenomenon (clouds, waterfalls,
flowers, birds, etc) where this attitude could prevail. And ALL of these
examples are all the more impressive presented stereoscopically. 

BTW, According to the National Geographic article, "bugs" are the most
diverse of lifeforms on the planet. Guess you're bored with non-human life
forms, George? (I'd love to see COLOR SEMs of "bugs", but I find the BW
versions absolutely fascinating. But I don't collect or study bugs!)

(Also, I was the first to say that the Mars stereo images I've seen were
terribly boring... flat rocky desert... I don't follow the intense
interest! As far as astronomy, relative parallax is pretty tricky!)
