What's That Bug?

You think there are a lot of humans on the planet? Try counting bugs: they far outnumber (and even outweigh) us. WTB helps you figure out whether that bug that's bugging you is something to worry about, or to be grateful for its presence. You can even send in photos of weird insects and they'll give a whirl at identifying it for you. (I should send a shot of the prehistoric looking monsters around my house!) However, please note their disclaimer: "We do not offer extermination advice."
