Bug World: The Novella

Bug World is a unique roadside attraction created by entomologist Howard "Bugs" Smithton, blending education and entertainment with insect exhibits, ant farms, and butterfly gardens. The story features a diverse cast, including a reporter, sheriff, and university professors, who observe unusual trends suggesting humanity’s possible extinction. As Bugs Smithton emphasizes our temporary presence in the insect world, the narrative hints at deeper themes regarding the relationship between humans and nature.
