I've adjusted the thread titled since we've strayed beyond the insect world.
When saying the new thread title out loud, please pronounce the appended phrase with a Scottish accent. Not that all the beasties are particularly wee, but never mind.

Could I please enter a gentle reminder to all that this is Pianophilia, not Agriozoophilia nor Entomophilia. Batrachophilia is more like it, but Ophidiophilia and Scoleciphilia are not on.
