It's September and school has begun. What's That Bug? is bigger and better than ever. We continue to be OVERWHELMED by letters from our sensitive and scared readers and being chosen Animal Site of the Month should bring us many new young readers.

Because we are getting hundreds of letters a week, we are only able to post four per day. This is no indication of the quality or urgency of your query as the letters are chosen at random. If you have a question about a bug, please take the time to look at our alphabetized list of bugs on the left column before writing us. The most popular household intruders we get letters about are HOUSE CENTIPEDES and PANTRY BEETLES. Larger frightening creatures that are frequent letter topics include POTATO BUGS, DOBSONFLIES and TOE-BITERS. So please check out those sections if you see something creepy in your house or yard!
