Bug-Inspired Décor For Your Table Slideshow

If you live in a place where mosquitos are a bothersome pest during the summer months, this wine stopper from Sterling Wine is for you — fun and functional. It makes the perfect hostess gift to bring along with a bottle of red wine, too — it looks just like blood.

Whether you're having friends over for cocktails, cheese, and crackers at the end of the day or you're looking for a fun way to make serving hummus to a group of kids entertaining, this ladybug-themed dish and spreader from Amazon.com is sure to be a hit.

Upgrade your summertime cocktail hour with these porcelain bowls from Anna Weatherley that are perfect for serving salted nuts and crunchy cheese crackers to guests. Whoever finishes off the last of the snacks is in for a four-legged surprise!

Supplement your plain-jane glassware with these bug-themed drink glasses from Target.com for summer. They're perfect to use for serving iced teas and mojitos to your guests.

These four-legged critters are often much-despised by many urban dwellers. If you're in for a little fun, serve cereal or yogurt to your friends from the big city in these bowls from Folded Pigs on Etsy when they come to visit (then assure them their morning meal is safe to eat).

Working on a puzzle is a fun way to keep guests entertained when hosting a party. Challenge guests to assemble this butterfly-shaped puzzle from ABC Home over cocktails. Once it's finished, hang it above the table for all to admire.

Experienced hosts know that setting a table outside with linens can be problematic in a breeze if the fabric isn't weighted down well with multiple heavy dishes. Alternatively, use these weights inspired by summer pests from Amazon.com to ensure your tablecloth (and whatever is on top) doesn't fly away.

No host wants to serve their guests bugs in their food — but that doesn't mean you can't serve them a salad with bugs crawling underneath. This set of insect-themed plates from Anthropologie is great to use when dining outdoors (and will certainly keep your guests talking long after the meal is over).

Using bug-themed plates for all your entertaining needs makes for good fun in the summer. But to be 100% sure those warm-weather pests don't infest your sandwiches and salads when celebrating out of doors, be sure to have a couple of these stylish covers from Miles Kimball on hand.
