Official Kiwi farms bug thread - Discussing bugs of all sorts

[BeetleBug242]

I cannot believe there isn’t a space for fellow bug enthusiasts. Please post any cool things you want to about bugs. I’ll post a cool beetle shell I have.

I like bumble bees.




Look at their bumblebutts.

I’m going to power level here. I was walking to work yesterday and saw a bumble be on the side walk, he was a sleepy little guy! I moved him aside to save his life, if you see sleepy bees they are males and they just kind of get sad and depressed. You can catch them sleeping in flowers, also they dont have a stinger. Edit: just like the ones you posted

I like spiders. At any given time I have half-a-dozen spiders living in my place. They're cool, they eat ants for me and my cats mostly ignore them.

I see them on the sidewalk a lot too, they like it cause it's warm I guess. I pick them up gently and put them on a nearby flower. Sadly not all of them can be picked up in time.

Ooo, I forgot - I also like moths. The bigger moths are like little bitty birds. They have cute faces.

I’ve let all the cobwebs and dead leaves in my basement entryway for months. It looks like Halloween from spring to fall. I know it looks dirty and lazy but I love seeing all the critters that I attract. I don’t have any where else I can see them easily

i make bugs as unwelcome as i can in my living areas, bugs have plenty of space outside.

But outside and away from my house i'm happy to visit and appreciate them.

Arthropods are our friends!

 

[Shamefur Dispray]

Scorpions are pretty cool they sneak into my house sometimes, I had a picture of a camel spider and a Jerusalem cricket I found at work on my old phone I wish I had the pictures still.

Parasitic Wasps, mango flies and horse flies can fuck right off.

I like most bugs but I especially love woodlice/pill bugs/whatever you wanna call the lil guys. So cute!

Parasitic wasps are a godsend if you garden

I love roaches, arachnids, and myriapods. I have been keeping exotic roaches since 2007

I really like cicadas, I prefer the wide look of the annual ones to the 17 year ones. Collecting Cicada shells as a kid during summer was always fun and they looked really cool. I also really like the noise they make during summer.

I am tolerant of most insects and I don't kill any but I loathe flies because they are dirty.

Caterpillars are quite cute

Depends on the fly, black soldier flies are very beneficial and the adults don't eat so they can't spread disease. Many flies are pollinators as well.

The larva of black soldier flies are also good food for birds and reptiles (especially since they have lots of calcium, so good for chickens, wild birds in nesting season, and bearded dragons with MBD).

Yeah I meant houseflies and blowflies, they're like little balls of shit and corpses flying around and can carry pathogens for 100 diseases in humans. Leaving 'fly spots' everywhere and rubbing their hands together.. so unsettling.

Sphinx moths are crazy to see in real life. They’re like fat hummingbirds!

 

[Titty Figurine]

I saw a couple of these guys for the first time this year. The first one I thought was just a tiny fluff of cottonwood or dandelion until it kept changing direction and I caught it. Adorable little things. I don't have any fruit trees and only ever saw the two of them, so I'm content to just keep thinking they're cute instead of assholes.




They look like a tiny version of the inevitable result of the first time you teach a kid how to tie a fly and I like them very much.

 

[Shidoen]

You ever just pick up a crab and allow it to pinch you to rest your pain tolerance. It makes me feel superior on the sandy beach of pearls while this little black eyed bastard faces a literal giant.

Eh, they're still good food for many animals. Let some spiders set up shop and they will take care of the flies.
