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

    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.
