Well so it begins.

One thing is for certain, there is no stopping them. The worms will soon be here.
And I for one welcome our new insect overlords.
I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.

A quick way to tell if something is an insect is if it has a head, a thorax, an abdomen, exactly 6 legs, and antennae
The 6 legs is usually the biggest giveaway, discounts millipedes, centipedes, worms, spiders, etc. from being insects
