"Wunderlich, höchst wunderlich," sprach der Doktor und versank in stummes Nachdenken. "Der Käferkönig," fuhr er dann fort, "der Käferkönig kann es nicht sein, denn der ist, wie ich gewiss weiss, eben jetzt anderswo beschäftigt; Spinnenmarschall auch nicht, denn Spinnenmarschall ist zwar hässlich, aber verständig und geschickt, lebt auch von seiner Hände Arbeit, ohne sich andrer Taten anzumassen. - Wunderlich - sehr wunderlich."
"For every complex problem, there is a straightforward solution that is clear, concise, and incorrect."

I immensely appreciate the generosity of those who make their photographs available online for everybody to use, no strings attached. This is the right thing to do, a priceless service to science and education and an example to others. There are lots of quality images that people took great pains to produce so we can use them freely and fill the gaps in the guide. Special thanks to those who go out of their way to take pictures for BugGuide upon my requests.
