Insecticons Volume I is a set of icons which may be installed on your own files (do ‘get info’ on the Insecticon, copy the image, do ‘get info’ on your file, and paste onto the existing icon). All the bugs in this package are intentional, which makes a change!
Registered users will receive a registered copy of Insecticons Volume II, with another forty-five excellent insects (and half a dozen other icons), so please remember to include your name and address when you register. We hope you enjoy using them! Insecticons Volume II will not be released as shareware.
Distribution
You may freely distribute Insecticons Volume I unmodified, but you must include this file (‘README’) with the copy.

More about the icons
These icons have been designed to complement the Industrial Textures desktop textures package (Industrial Textures Volume I is included on the disk you will receive if you register Insecticons). They are mostly images of insects, some real and some imaginary. In some cases (such as the wasps) I had to adjust the proportions of wings and antennae to fit the space, so they should not be used for reference or identification. The ladybird images are in fact the icons for the Industrial Textures suite.
The wasp and fat wasp make good wastebasket/trash icons (thanks to Tweedle for this idea) if you don't mind resediting your system – if so, take a backup copy first!. If you take the alternative approach of modifying Aaron, please respect the authors’ wishes and don’t distribute the modifiied copy.
The Insecticons are dedicated to Jan who did not mind me filling the house with jars of buzzing ‘stingsects’ while working on the images.
