Insects of North America: A Collection of Stunning Photos

There are over 91,000 different species of insects and other arthropods known to occur in North America, according to the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS). This number includes all kinds of bugs, such as beetles, butterflies, moths, ants, bees, wasps, flies, spiders, mosquitoes, and many others. However, it's important to note that new species are still being discovered and classified, so the total number of bug species in North America is likely to be even higher than 91,000.

Granted it would take a lifetime to take pictures of that many bugs. But, we will give it a shot. All the pictures are taken by Shutter Bison and are sorted by the common name for the insects.
