Maybe we love them because they're so unlike us, or perhaps because there's something about all the extra legs bugs have that creeps us out a little bit... just enough to be fascinated.
Or maybe it's that insects like honeybees do the hard work of pollinating plants and that work keeps our crops going, which ultimately keeps us fed...
Either way, despite the common human hesitation to touch any bug, bugs have been cropping up in art for centuries, and home decor for decades, at least.
From ancient Egyptian scarab jewelry to modern-day ladybug decor, our human world often chooses to represent common bugs like dragonflies, bees, spiders, butterflies, caterpillars, ladybugs, beetles, etc. in our art, jewelry, and even home decor items like rugs, blankets, and wall hangings.
