If you turned into a bug what kind would you want to be?

I'd be ladyba!

But that's a pokemon and those don't exist :(
 
I often wonder how the evolutionary cycle has to work for someone to end up being a little dancey boy, because there's quite a few of them. There had to be a time when none of them danced then one just started workin it and got all of the bitches, and that's how we got here.
 
Fun fact: termites have kings as well as queens, and the kings aren't disposable trash like with ants. The kings can live for several years, and queens can live for decades. They kind of just chill in the center of the colony, so if a colony sufficiently establishes itself it's unlikely they will be fucked with directly.

To answer your question I'd be an orb-weaver spider.
 
Praying Mantis for sure. I want to grab a juicy green caterpillar between my claws and eat it alive. Caterpillars just seem delicious... something ancient and biological just tells me this. Being an arboreal tarantula would be fun, too. They are sooo goddamn fast.

I have an adult T. Blondi named Big Daddy, and he seems very content with life. He eats mice primarily, and there is something fun about seeing a giant spider do a little dance of happiness carrying the carcass of a mouse in its pedipalps.

Something fun about jumping spiders is that there are many, many different species with different dances, so evolutionarily it's helpful for the females to be discriminating about the kind of dance they're being shown, so they don't get with the wrong kind of spider.

The result of this is that if a male makes a wrong move in his dance, the female usually eats him. It's a rough gig for male spiders.
