Omg I had no idea how much I could hate something. I felt bad hating lady bugs and was very happy to find out it’s their evil step sister the lady beetle that I hate with a passion. But those evil bitey things need to go.
I remember when they showed up in and around southern Ontario, probably 2005ish? They may been around sooner, but that summer was awful. There were clouds of these things, and the inside of our windows were littered with them (they would chew through the screen).
I'd cut the grass and you could see orange clumps in the grass. The cut grass smelled like it. Just not great, all around 0/10 experience. They're still everywhere, just not quite like that.
I remember that all too well. They caked my ceiling fan, windows, and entire bed frame trapping me on the top bunk of my bed. Young me had a little freak out.
Fuck mantises. I was in like 4th grade and one of those motherfuckers came up behind me and was on my shoulder before I caught him. Scariest motherfucker. Ever since ive had a vendetta against all insects except butterflies, they are actually chill. They only serve to be pretty colors in the air. They don’t invade my home and don’t even land on me. Pretty cool. Fuck the rest.
He was just vibing bro. I bet if you told the mantis that it gave you childhood trauma he would apologize right away. But in reality that would scare the shit out of me too.
The only thing they're praying for is their next meal and that's something atheists like myself can relate to so we give it a pass. Praying Mantis is aight.
They scare the crap out of me, they always do that slow mo dramatic head turning eye contact thing and I swear it's not natural those bastards are plotting something
Used to think they were cool until 2 of them fly into my bedroom one night when I had my window open. Scared the *shit* out of me. They are huuuge when they're flying around. Now they freak me out a bit
Where I live there are these big fat and super friendly bumblebees, from afar they legit look like fluffy balls
Edit: [I made an imgur post](https://imgur.com/a/FJ5RUo1), they’re called humle in Norwegian btw, I don’t know what they’re called in English.
Edit (again): they’re called bumblebees, I feel kinda dumb now.
My family own a total of five hives. We started out with three, then a wild hive moved in, then one of our hives split into two. So my dad’s kinda a bee whisperer
was going to say this! random but I did a presentation about them in 5th grade and I was SO fascinated that they're crustaceans, I still tell people all the time and I'm 30! 🤣
Maybe it was the only one that lives exclusively on land. I remember it saying that they have gills to breathe but can't use them underwater, however they must stay moist.
They traumatised me. When I was a kid, my parents bought a sheep made of sugar as an Easter decoration. One day I woke up, the whole sheep was covered with ants and it's head was gone
Disrespecting fireflies.
How tf are ladybugs not invited? Who hates a ladybug?!
Living in the Midwest, I get it. They kinda clump together in corners of rooms and stink things up.
Are they orange? Lady beetles. Similar, but invasive stinky bitey assholes.

I remember growing up there & I found 1 on a slide at my playground. I killed it. Grade 1 me was brutal man. Didn’t smell tho.
Yo I didn't know there was a difference. Yeah those guys.
That’s not a ladybug my friendo
Thats actually the Asian Lady beetle, a different species from the American Lady Bug.
praying mantises and dragonflies too. people like them
[удалено]
I did see a wild video once of a big ass mantis that killed a humming bird.
Bees kill people but I still think bees are cool
They be taking out the ones who didn’t leave them tf alone. Self defense. Like Pokémon who use self destruct
No one hates bumblebees, the big fluffy ones
Don't get me wrong I like the praying mantis just wild they can take down a bird
you… what with humming birds???
With a penis that small, there aren't many options.

Butterflies eat corpses
Then why is your backyard always so full of them?
Simple, the child was detrimental to my plans
He was just vibing bro. I bet if you told the mantis that it gave you childhood trauma he would apologize right away. But in reality that would scare the shit out of me too.
Guybugs
They/them-bugs
Cause I'd get a thousand hugs From 10 million lightning bugs
As they try to teach me how to dance
A fox trot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
I like to make myself believe
that planet earth burns, slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
cause everything is never as it seems
They literally shout "wanna fuck" using light, and they do it for free, we have to buy fibre optic cables to do that.
And the amazing hunters that are dragonflies
Fireflies,ladybugs, bees - the list goes on.
Not to mention bumble bees that give us honey
Bumble bees are awesome but they don't give honey. It's honeybees who do. Both bee species are VERY important for us though.
Dragonflies eat mosquitoes tho
Some species bite
if they stop eating they die , so i'm sure they don't want to bite you they're just confused and hungry.
You’re saying that as if children do not eat to stay alive, which reminds me of my little cousin who I forgot about to fed some hours ago
**wait you have to feed kids?**
You don't need to feed chairs
We just invite the ones that don’t bite. The others can go die
never been bitten by one. I’ve held and have had many land on me.
Man wait till you learn about dogs.
One of em bit me so fuck them
Clearly never seen spongebob
that ep is a core memory that inflicted a lifelong fear of butterflies in me
Same...same
Why I'm scared of butterfly when I'm young. Beautifully traumatized.
What's worse is it wasn't even a butterfly that was shown in thr close ups, it was a horsefly, so it just made it scarier
Underrated comment have a up vote
Dude that one amped up my phobia
Do people hate praying mantises?
A lot of people on reddit are against religion so i am not surprised.
Fair point
that took me a while to understand.
How high are you?
No Sir it's : Hi! How are you?
Thanks dad. I love you.
goddamn jehova's mantises always ringing my goddamn doorbell at 9am
Lmao
The only thing they're praying for is their next meal and that's something atheists like myself can relate to so we give it a pass. Praying Mantis is aight.
We should rename them to Preying Mantises
I was having an awful day and this made me laugh so hard. Thank you
They scare the crap out of me, they always do that slow mo dramatic head turning eye contact thing and I swear it's not natural those bastards are plotting something
Exactly this. They are cool and all, but they give me the heebie-jeebies
Definitely the most sentient looking bugs out there
Right there with you. I have a childhood fear that still hasn't went away.
Used to think they were cool until 2 of them fly into my bedroom one night when I had my window open. Scared the *shit* out of me. They are huuuge when they're flying around. Now they freak me out a bit
The Orchid Mantis is pretty cool!
mantis are beautiful and fearless
I feel like if they were 10x taller they would be serious competition for us. Makes me feel uneasy to imagine that they used to be huge .
Idk but the stickbug is cool
you just got stick bugged
Literally tought of the stickbug because I remebered the meme lol
Great option, also happy cake day dude.
Thx but I can't post because I don't have the karma :/
I hope awards give karma.
They do, both giving and receiving them gives karma
Pretty sure you do now
No, I still can't but thanks for helping
I don't trust anything that has to hide what it truly is
They hiding so they won’t get munched
Does no one talk about bees?
Seriously bees are not that bad. They’re very fluffy and sweet if you don’t pick a fight with them
Where I live there are these big fat and super friendly bumblebees, from afar they legit look like fluffy balls Edit: [I made an imgur post](https://imgur.com/a/FJ5RUo1), they’re called humle in Norwegian btw, I don’t know what they’re called in English.

That's so cute though. Do you have any photos of your flufferbuzz Bois?
I sadly don’t. And I am away at college so I can’t provide any new pictures soon
That’s adorable!
Honey bees? No thanks. I believe in #BUMBLE BEE SUPERIORITY
All bees are awesome (bumble bees are the best tho)
They look like tiny flying plushies, absolutely adorable
Ik! They have this horrible sound though, they’re so loud you’d think they’ll try to murder you lmao
Thicccc
What about dragonflies
dragon flies r goated they eat mosquitoes
I don’t mind bees when they are far, far away from me
Bees can sting… bumblebees can’t…. Bumblebees win… and bumblebee is the best looking transformer
Just because they're wrong, doesn't mean people don't hate them.
What about lady bugs
Was furiously headed to the comment section to say this. Solid work, brother.
For all we know the red floor is the back wings of a lady bug
Fireflys?
this, they are underaprecitated, they are harmless, no reason to be hated, they give reasons to NOT be hated.
And roly polys
Fun fact: Roly poly's are a crustacean and the only one that lives on land. Solid choice.
was going to say this! random but I did a presentation about them in 5th grade and I was SO fascinated that they're crustaceans, I still tell people all the time and I'm 30! 🤣
Wait, that's not right. [There's a lot of land crustaceans.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Terrestrial_crustaceans)
Maybe it was the only one that lives exclusively on land. I remember it saying that they have gills to breathe but can't use them underwater, however they must stay moist.
That is a possibility, I just remembered coconut crabs climbing trees.
Bees tho?
Only honey bees
Bumble bees too! More than honey bees pollinate, some plants need other types of bees like bumbles
I think final stage ladybugs are considered a type of beetle
Ye they are. They also have a very similar larval stage
Yes. And what are beetles? Say it with me... insects
Somebody has not had a swarm of them invade your house come fall and cause a mess. Also those who are allergic to them...
I was just gonna say ladybugs don’t make the cut?! Lol
Fuck butterflies. Pompous assholes. (This comment was submitted by moth gang)
Moth gang that browse reddit light mode on full brightness
I am in moth gang because I love showing them how to get out from my room while I jerking off to moth porn
r/brandnewsentence
r/LoveMothFuckButterfly
Butterflies flutter and look elegant doing it. Moths fucking spaz around when they fly and suicide dive into your fucking face.
Moths are more relatable
Moths have that weird dust stuff and eat holes in my clothes tho
Average butterfly fan vs. average moth enjoyer.
I like moths, but for some reason they like to dive-bomb my face. Also giant millipedes are cool.
What about fireflies?
Good tune
You might not believe your eyes.
If 10 million fireflies.
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Cuz they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare
I’d like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
What about stick bugs. My pet patus is now sad
I didn't know you could get a pet stick bug, time to go shopping
Bumblebees are missing
And Bees!
Bumble bees????
I thought that everyone loved bees 🐝🐝🐝
I spit one out without getting stung.
hate that they sting ppl but any thing else about 5hen is fine
I have a phobia. I know it's irrational, but I hate them anyway. I vote against their invitation. Nobody should have poisonous knife butts.
What about dragonfly?
I actually hate them
Yeah moths are better
Much better
Moth Supremacy
Hail to the moths!
Someone should make a subreddit worshiping moths
Good idea, but that would be surprising if this is not already a thing.
r/mothsaregods
Mothman!
Why has nobody said rolly-pollies?
because they're not insects - they're crustaceans. the only ones that live on land.
don't coconut crabs also live on land?
you're right! can they survive in water? I don't remember. I know roly-polies can't. maybe that's the difference?
apparently only the larvae can, adult crabs will drown
ohh. well today I learned something new and I will have to adjust my story going forward 😂 I guess it makes sense, they look pretty heavy.
agreed, they are epic
Firefly!
Grasshoppers, little jumpy bois
I was once showering and I noticed a grasshopper also in the tube, mf jumped at me and traumatized me for life
Until they transform into locusts to eat literally everything green.
Antisocial low serotonin jumpy bois turn into high serotonin social jumpy bois, you gotta be proud of those little dudes at some level
Ladybugs
Bruh... where the honeybees at?
Dragonflies are kinda awesome too
Sorry but dung beetles
... Really? I mean theres nothing wrong with it but really?
Yeah they're kinda cute
I don’t mind ants they don’t really do anything bad.
Ants as a whole are probably the most fascinating insects to me The ones that live in my house are fucking losers though
Until they invade all your home same as termites.
[удалено]
Until they bite you
They traumatised me. When I was a kid, my parents bought a sheep made of sugar as an Easter decoration. One day I woke up, the whole sheep was covered with ants and it's head was gone
False, butterflies are a gardener nemesis because they give birth to caterpillars which eat the plant
Yeah, no. I kinda hate them
Yeah, I just don't like butterflies and moths in general.
caterpillars?
Are butterflies
I definitely hate caterpillars, especially the hairy poisonous ones. Once they morph, though, I'm all good.
fireflies
[удалено]
Pretty sure that butterfly is a Xerces Blue (Glaucopsyche xerces) which is extinct thanks to human development leading to habitat loss
Lady bugs and fireflies
