Comments: The world has lost a truly great entomologist, perhaps its greatest collector of beetles, with the death of David A. Rockefeller
An essay in idleness? Yes indeed, David Rockefeller had his hobbies which many would approve and delight upon. But he was VERY frisky when it came to shaping this world to the whims of his own greed. The man was a grand puke of the highest order. Gary North has some choice opinions and other links for you to consider.

Is that a Dung Beetle?

The Creator would appear as endowed with a passion for stars, on the one hand, and for beetles on the other, for the simple reason that there are nearly 300,000 species of beetle known, and perhaps more, as compared with somewhat less than 9,000 species of birds and a little over 10,000 species of mammals. Beetles are actually more numerous than the species of any other insect order. That kind of thing is characteristic of nature.

Perhaps a funeral attended by dermestid beetles would be fitting:
