Features: "Insect Paradise" has no war, no killing, no intrigue or deceit. It can be said that this is a comic version of Fabre's "The Insect World." However, the characters are full of humor. For example, Mario the toad who smokes cigarettes and watches prey with fierce eyes, the gloomy mosquito Moscardo who always faces obstacles and setbacks, the arrogant and proud butterfly Miss Emma, the gluttonous and lazy beetle Charlie, the stern spider teacher Madame Aranea, and the kind and gentle ant Floom who is always mocked. These numerous cartoon insect characters are all hilarious. This comic uses personification to describe a fairy-tale-like insect world, with extraordinary imagination, extremely vibrant and rich colors, exaggerated plots, and witty language. The insect characters it portrays, such as flies, mosquitoes, butterflies, spiders, etc., are all deeply humanized. Their joys, sorrows, loves, and hatreds move the readers' hearts. After reading it, one feels as if they have stepped into a humanized insect world.
