Like seeing a coakroach would literally ruin my whole day , its scary , disghusting and you cant know its next move .. but the other day i was thinking : why? Like why we usually dont fear cats or dogs but we fear insects which are way smaller
Another trip to the little hill to watch the sunset and also weather to wear beanies again! 🍂 Also found this cute Sloe bug! Its slowing down with insects sadly for this time of year.



I just love these shots 🤌🤌





How about some fried grasshoppers and silkworms? High-protein Thai style 😋


Cats be testing your patience one is scratching and trying to get into the box in the cupboard the other one is going feral and attacking the invisible insects on the floor . While asleep 😴😵💫. Let's just say my cats are now permanent banned from sleeping with me .

supposedly has only reached about 1/4 of his final form. chewies are insane growers, cause they just eat sm and apparently have 2 stomachs for diet & insects. can't believe he's still technically a baby




His shadow is soo cool this is by far probably one of my favorite insects (edited)

Leptocyon was an extinct genus of small, fox-like canids that lived in North America from the Oligocene to the Miocene epochs (around 34 to 10 million years ago) and is considered the earliest member of the dog family (Canidae). These delicate animals, weighing around 2 kg, had long jaws and were… read more

When attacked by insects, some plants release substances into the air that can trigger defensive responses in other plants.
And he replied. I know they can upset us. But my strategy is to let them appear and I just regulate them. Regulation is very drastic for Elymus repens and Ranunculus repens. But apart from this, most of them are edible and they participate to attract different insects. The goal is to select good… read more
That bugs on your windshield/grill are now incredibly rare occasions? There's been a 60-80% decline in flying insects in the last few decades. Crazy lol
It appears to be a Cross Orb Weaver. It made its net(s) at a highly trafficked bridge. Plenty nocturnal insects seek light sources/have the moon as light source as a navigation reference and get confused by modern light sources. It is also natural for animals to seek water sources, therefore… (edited) read more
I was casually walking through the park the other day when a leaf caught my attention. It had the most unique pattern I'd ever seen. My curiosity immediately kicked in. What kind of leaf was this? Why was it so beautifully patterned? None of the other leaves looked like it, so I assumed it had to… (edited) read more

Finishing up this Eastern Hercules beetle study. Built entirely with dots and a lot of patience.

Sakura's hand hesitated over the water basin, the warm, damp cloth suddenly feeling as heavy as lead. The old title of affection for her sister had slipped out against her will, carrying with it a tangled knot of childhood longing and deep, rusted resentment. Despite all the years of silence, the… (edited) read more

Was trying to find something in my garage earlier and noticed there were a few cute little geckos hanging out in it. All geckos live rent free for me, they eat all the invasive insects trying to get inside my house xD

I like all animals like cat , dogs, fish , Bird or whatever But not exotic animals like lizards or small insects It gives me goosebumps 😬😬



They broke in and never told me. No footprints. No broken lock. No warning. One day, I simply stopped being alone. They settled into the hidden places of the house. Beneath my bed, inside the closets, behind the shower curtain. In the silence between the floorboards. Patient. Breathing softly… read more
If everyone has a place to escape from the hustle and bustle of the day, then this place is one of them for me. Actually, this place is a city park, but as the sun begins to set, it becomes quiet. I often go there alone, sitting against a tree, looking at the sky, starting to reflect on everything… read more


You can only choose one… Which deal would you take? 👀 (edited)

Finding beauty in the small things. This is a Spotted Earwig close-up from my daily life. When you look closely, even a simple insect looks like a tiny dragon. I am currently building a project called The Tropical Refuge. It is a space where people can connect, relax, and find balance through… read more

Anyone else like bugs or am I the only one

I always believed that carrying the financial weight and putting my people first would guarantee their unconditional love and respect. Kafka's The Metamorphosis completely shattered that illusion. If you are actively searching for a piece of classic psychological fiction that explores the darkest… read more

In any card games, what would be your ideal monster or regular creature that you enjoy using? Growing up it was mostly fiends/ghouls/demons, but nowadays I'm trying to go with insects.
Just out of curiosity. Does anybody on here happen to like insects? Either the real life versions or ones in creative video games or movies.
Looking for some insects amongst the leaf litter in the garden

I found this jumping spider in my room. Thinking to pet it but I wonder if spiders can be good pets?







I found a Praying mantis in my backyard a couple days ago and named her Isabella

Been a while since I’ve posted! I’ve been on and off a lil, mentally, and I’ve had some not so great medical findings pfft <:] but I HAD to share this gorgeous little friend, holy crow what a phenomenal sight!!!


: Hiya! Would you like a brochure? : “Oh! I’m sorry, I would, but I have a really well preserved bee in my hand. <:(“


(I know the emoji is a cricket, hush)


Yes, these are technically feeder roaches, for reptiles! But I choose to keep them as pets instead because I love them 💚💚🪳 SO thrilled we’re allowed to legally have these in Canada omg 🥹

Lucanus cervus




I found these interesting pictures online for the last few days and I thought they would be interesting enough to show and post.










They hunt spiders, paralyze them with their sting, and lock them alive inside this mud cell. Then they lay an egg inside, so these immobilized spiders serve as a fresh, live food supply for the hatched larva. Despite their intimidating appearance, these insects are completely harmless to humans… read more
I've been looking around and found more interesting pictures on the various species of the walking stick like of how the jumping stick may have an interesting face design, but during its nymph stage, it would resemble a rather long grasshopper.








Hello!! A few months ago I found a small green caterpillar on a basil plant 🐛. After adopting it and feeding it for several weeks, it ended up making its cocoon and emerging as this beautiful imago with silver spots 🦋. For now, I conclude that it must be a noctuid. Does anyone know what species… (edited) read more




I've been doing a little bit of research here and there based on various walking sticks, and happy to find it out all the different types of eggs that they would end up laying like, how most insects tend to do.




I took the photo with the phone xd








Some more interesting insects, even though one I know that isn't an insect. But featuring one of my top 5 favorites








Attracted by light, warmth, and shelter.

Turns out I had already posted a picture of the grasshoppers, so I guess I’ll post this one instead 🤣

😋

I used to be one of those "I love all animals except insects" type of people, until I started doing an animal care course in my college, anyone else had a similar moment?
Please leave on like and comment your favorite bug that you like even if everyone else doesn't like it. My top favorite is Walking stick and my back up choice is the cicada.
Just making up as I go at this point

Made me feel way too excited (mind out of the gutter, please) to see this critter earlier today so I'll share it here too.

One of my favorite insects, next to the Cicadas and it's fascinating of how many there are.





What a great name

A friend found it once when we went for a walk in the hill... In the Puebla Mixteca, we photographed it and let it return to nature.


I know.I have said this before, but the walking stick happens to be one of my top favorite insects, the way they are very skilled in camouflaging, and apparently are very harmless, except for a couple that I know that will spray a special pheromone that is only harmful to other insects like the… read more









It was such a nice evening I pulled out my macro lens and took a few photos. All those dimples on the wing casing of the ladybird, very cool.


It can barely be distinguished but it's a tiny weevil lol, seen under a stereoscope
