Sweet girl kisses, and hope I stay on their good side. Plus they kinda look like flying sports bikes.

I'm already sitting with the bees
Mantises
As far away from the moths as possible. Too chaotic and irrational for me.
I'd be at the oddball table with the roly poly, millipede & dragonfly...

Mantises. I love those things. We like to find them in the garden and sometimes pick them up and let them crawl all over us.
As a person from a sensible country without praying mantis running freely around outside in nature, this has very much changed my opinion on them!
Truly they're not scary in person. They're very gentle when they crawl on you. They're very good at camouflaging in bushes, so it's a fun activity to look for them.
Bees or moth, chance of dying is significantly smaller compare to the rest of the group.
Fuck, that's a hard choice. I'm either sitting with moth gang or spider gang, but the bees are a great choice too.
Mantids. I just think they're neat!
Moths, they're cool and cute.
No spood lovers in here?! I could watch those Darth Maul lookin' mofos all day long.
Also love the joros 'cause they eat that which I despise the most: the brown marmorated stink bug.
Where's the lightning bug table?
On the floor
With the mantids and wondering where the phasmids are.
Covered in bees! Hopefully Eddie Izzard will show up and tell some jokes.
Bees, beetles and moths are fine (wasps are much less so btw), and spiders catch flies and mosquitoes, so yes them too.
Moth crew represent!
In the Control Center, making sure to nuke them from space. I know these are all statistically not aggressive, but I just can't shake the instinctive impulse to eradicate them...
