Insect appreciation thread - You WILL love the bugs

Black chafer. I think he might be on his last legs though, he isn't moving much.
I also found a new queen ant, a rare Cryptopone ochracea. I'll a post a picture once she calms down in her setup. They eat springtails, so I've ordered some off the internet. Like the termites, they're a hard species to raise and so my expectations range from "failure" to "disaster" (I did find some people who managed to successfully raise them).

I love the orchid mantis

I really love beetles. If I had the ability to I'd raise em. Especially Rhinoceros and Stag beetles I just find them so cool little dudes in armor.

Erm... the spider did bounce, pal. Before you try to step up on this insect themed thunderdome, remember you may be pissing on the toes of an irl internet 'sectspert, buddy.

They are out of season in my area but they are all up the east coast! Look towards flowers by treelines!

I hate that I see this in the bathtub before bed. Have a shitty pic, you freaks.

Ants are like these hiveminded alien bugs from scifi. But tiny.
