Mr. Pumpy:

Good morning all! There are at least 200 million insects per person on Earth. However, some claims have been made that there are approximately 1.4 billion insects per person. I don't know why the discrepancy, but I'm thinking it may have something to do with their size and tendency to fly around and stuff. Must be hard to count.
