Ryan Fleacrest Approves of these Insect Songs
I’ve mentioned before how useful Twitter can be, and how the #hashtag can be a real life saver for researchers and entomologists. Today however, the #hashtag reached an all new level of awesome, and provided the Twitterverse with an afternoon’s worth of free comedy.
#InsectSongs is where cheesy Saturday afternoon music anthology commercials meet entomology, with countless creative song titles scrolling down the screen. I’ve Storified some of my favourites here (grouped by taxonomic order of course), but be sure to check out the full list of Bugboard 100 hit titles!
Insect nerds are a creative lot and they put their hivemind to work coming up with some amazingly Punny #InsectSongs!

Ironically there were a large number of Beatles songs included in this list…
Of course if you want to hear some actual music about insects, check out my Tuesday Tunes playlist.
In case you've actually been working this afternoon (unlike me) here are my favourite #InsectSongs http://t.co/wjYKvxCK #Storify
