Help! Bug me!

[troyworks]

I know I really some bug people, as a good boy should I love entomology, have even considered entomophagy, and as a software developer am responsible for producing and devouring a fair number bugs.    But this is completely different.   I have to choose a bug to be vectorized for a business card (everybody at work already has one), which is right

based on that first photo I kinda feel like I should be into WWF to have it as an emblem.

wow that MuellersStageBeetle is breathtaking, especially on that backdrop.

Rhinoceros/Elephant Beetles are amazing too:

What about a Jerusalem cricket? Growing up, we always called them Children of the Earth. They're kind of enormous.

seen those, but heard it called a potato bug....but per wikipedia they don't actually eat potatoes, but they do bang their head against wood as a mating call, and I occasionally beatbox...

how about a tarantula? Basically, a big furry spider. Sounds kind of cute. Or a katydid!
