My dead bug collection

Today I spent about 4 hours cleaning up the room where I keep all my dead bugs, aka, the garage.  I don’t intentionally maintain this collection of dead bugs… they just seem to build up on their own, and then about once a year I take the time to sweep them out of all the nooks and crannies, from under cabinets, etc.  My incentive for cleaning today was to tidy up the workbench, as it’s the only area of the house that’s “mine”, yet is a horrible, cluttered, unorganized mess.  I can’t find anything, including basics like hammers, rechargers for cordless screwdrivers, etc.  So, I cleaned.  I finally finished installing the organizer shelves in the garage, too (it only took four years…), so now it’s a MEGA-GARAGE, with a tidy workbench and freakish, obsessively-tidy details like wall hooks to hang the weed-whacker on.  Assuming there isn’t a big crash in the middle of the night as everything comes crashing to the floor, I’m happy with the results of my work and will really make an effort to keep the place in order.  I still didn’t find the case for the reciprocating saw, though… I can’t find the case, the instruction booklet, the blades, anything.  It’s like it just dropped in from out of the sky or something.  The poor Bosch table saw is now just a table saw, rather than a junk collection unit, and hopefully I’ll get that properly set up soon so I can use it for my projects like cat trees!  I’ve also got a Delta midi-lathe which has never been opened.  Do I have a future in bowl turning?!
