I personally like ants alot.(I'm sure you can tell.)
They're strong,smart,fast,abundant,some are bigger than your thumb,some have bites as painful as a bullet,and the way they have colonies with millions of induviduals is fascinating to me.

elephants are not insects!


Maybe not, but a Blue Whale on the other hand...

I think the Thornbug looks kinda cool and has a very unusual shape that obvioulsy disguises it very well.

But the winner is the Sunset Moth becasue it is just so unbelieveably beautiful and the colours are astounding.

Flys? There are some species of flys that lay eggs on human skin and the larva burrow in the flesh eating as they go! (I saw it on animal planet)

Redundant statement...

I guess the Luna Moth. Gigantic creatures, about the size of my hand, and really beautiful, too. Bright green with giant wings and stuff.

Butterfly, just because of their color.
Fireflies come in second.

My favorite are weevils. They're huge and they have a cool name!

Redundant statement...

Yeah, that part of the title is unnecessary.

Ants really are very fascinating, anatomically, physiologically as well as socially. Plus there's a huge diversity of ant species with different aspects and characteristics.

I also like the membracidae, or treehoppers. They have very special and different looks, as you can see here.

And dragonflies are really beautiful insects, and fun to look at flying around. Also imagine how big they could get in the carboniferous! (Look up meganeura)
What I particularly like in dragonflies are the larvae and their hunting method:
