16 proofs that insects can be not only scary, but also very cute (17 photos)

Insects are the most numerous inhabitants of our planet. Scientists have only been able to describe about a million insects, but it seems they still have several centuries of work ahead of them: according to rough estimates, about 8 million of these creatures live on our planet today. Perhaps most of them cannot be called charming: well, you must admit that you are unlikely to be moved by a bombardier beetle that sprays acid from its tail.
