Welcome to Hulett Environmental Service’s insect library! If you are looking for information on bugs, then you have found the right place on the web. We offer detailed information on insects that are found all over the United States, and especially on pests located in Florida; the bug’s paradise.
There are over 1 million different known species of bugs in the world, and some entomologists estimate that there might be as many as 10 million! All of these species are divided up into about 32 orders, depending on what classification system you use.
Insects are capable of amazing things. For example, did you know that ants can carry 100 times their own body weight? Try to picture a person carrying a full-size truck with just one arm and you will understand how incredible that is. Did you know that a flea can jump 120 times its own height? That would be like a person leaping up to the top of a 40 story building!
Ever wonder how an insect thinks? An ant brain has about 250,000 brain cells. A human brain has about 10,000,000, so a colony of 40,000 ants has collectively the same size brain as a human. No wonder they are always finding ways into our homes!
There are many fascinating things that can be learned about bugs, so spend a little time with us and check out all the interesting Florida insects that Hulett features.
