Bee
The bee drawing is a good example of a stick style graphic. It looks nothing like a real bee but we immediately accept it as one. That is because there are strong visual clues about bees in the drawing.
Yellow and black stripy body
Fat and friendly insect
Wings
The cartoon style graphic is used with reasonable effect to achieve a picture of a bee that works.
That is what stick figure animals means to me.

Butterflies
Surely the favourite of all insects, the butterfly is a colourful sight in summer gardens. With a fascinating life cycle through egg, caterpillar, chrysalis to butterfly and astonishing migratory feats for such a fragile creature they insist on attention with their huge variety of beautiful colours and patterns.
Centipede
The Centipede below is an artist's impression of one. That means it is not entirely accurate. On the plus side it creates a fun graphic with just the right amount of scary.
Dragonfly
Dragonfly graphic shows a dragonfly in flight with all four wings visible plus typical body shape.
An attractive visitor to garden ponds in Summer, the dragonfly is one of the more spectacular insects.

Giant Millipede
A popular insect to keep as a pet, the giant millipede is a pretty cool creature.
The drawings below show two typical poses, stretched out with legs and curled into a coil with everything tucked away for safety.

Hissing Cockroach
These large and slightly scary insects are a curiously popular choice for a pet.
A safe starter for the more exotic end of the scary market - before spiders, snakes and other reptiles.
Do they make great pets?
They have their fans and are similar to the other creatures that tend not to interact much with their human keepers.

Ladybird
Called Ladybug in the US - the Ladybird is a children's favourite in summer gardens.
A friendly looking - interesting bright patterned insect - and a beetle too.

Litterbug
Not a real insect obviously but an irritating summer visitor nonetheless.
A common sight at tourist destinations - the Litterbug leaves a trail of rubbish for others to collect and dispose of.

Scorpion
The scorpion is a brilliant insect, er, arachnid. It has everything an enthusiastic scary creature fan could want for. From the powerful looking pincers to the tip of its stinging tail, the scorpion is a superb example.
Spider
Spiders are a brilliant insect.
Useful and mostly good-natured. They build fantastic webs, have amazing strength and ability.
Yet we are scared of them. Conditioned to respond by shrieking, hiding and generally having a problem with these insects.
Strictly speaking the spider is not an insect. It is an arachnid.

Stick Bug Insect
A good companion for a stick man is a stick insect.
He is a little more complicated than just drawing a stick but a bend, six legs and a little colour seems to do it.
To create this picture I checked Google Images for real stick insects and tried to draw the main parts with some easy lines.

Tarantula
