Bug World is a reconstructed civil war era home refurbished by an entomologist as a road side amusement center and educational facility that gives tours showcasing all kinds of insects and sells ant farms, butterfly gardens and more.

Harold "Bugs" Smithton, proprietor-entomologist, also teaches at universities and consults with coroners and law enforcement officials as a forensic entomologist like TJ with Bones and Gil Grisham of CSI.

Other characters are newspaper man and his family, reporter, Sheriff Clete Beecher, a physics professor and a biology professor at a nearby university. The profs are noticing certain trends that indicate the extinction of man. Bugs Smithton understands that we are, as he says, "temporary guests in a Bug World."

This is a short story found in the book Short Shorts - Short and Very Short Stories.
