Please do me this favor. I'll even settle for something cute that's bug adjacent, like a shrimp or even a crab.

Wish I could find the video of one of these guys sitting on my finger for several minutes while spooling out a web line that made them look like they were practicing karate.

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago

GOOD spider

There are more lizard pollinators in the world than we tend to think but my favourites are day geckos in Mauritius.

They may not be bugs but they're doing bug stuff and almost offensively cute

This little baby is a Lord Howe Rock Lobster and was thought to be extinct until found on a sea rock a few years ago. Now there are hundreds of thousands of them.

I hope a mollusc is ok. This guy is probably one of the cutest things ever:

Jorunna parva, commonly known as the sea bunny, is a species of dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Discodorididae.

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago

I love a good nudibranch

Ants count, right? I think they're cute, at least.

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago

Of course ants count! tenna-cabbage-fast

Behold my user picture.

My favorite wasp around here!

Also this huge ass mama I held at a really cool insect museum in Victoria, BC

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

There's clearly no bug in this picture.

I demand my Pokemon Snap points.

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Oh! That's a caterpillar! It's eating a flower, what a cute pose! It's large and in frame! Wonderful!

Uhhh I forgot what a good score in Pokemon Snap is so I'll just give you 1000 points and assume that's a a lot.
