Nature is cool as shit, and the diversity of insects is wild. It’s time you nerds started learning about bugs. So you better pick a bug you like and tell me about it.
Here are some of of my faves:
Elephant Hawk Moth
Ant mimic spider
Devils orchid mantis
Green lacewing
Also yes I know spiders aren’t insects shut up
Stick insect time!
Purple stick
Mossy spiny stick (hard to get this colour of friendly stick, you have to feed them moss when young.)
Grumpy leaf stick
Largest stick
Thought extinct lobster stick
Movie star stick (definitely a scorpion so scary)
Woah that lobster stick is amazing
Lord Howe Island Stick Insect. They thought they were extinct due to invasive animals a century ago but they found them clinging to a sheer rock kilometers out in the ocean called Bells Pyramid, just chilling. Took awhile to find something they’d eat, but now they’ve bred thousands in captivity.
That’s a heartwarming story
