Rec'd on 🐛 A witch turned you into a bug 🧙‍♀️!!! What bug would you be and why?
Beetle
- Beetles cannot see very well, so they communicate using pheromones, sounds or vibrations. - Some beetles are not considered pests - Beetles have special mandibulate mouthparts, which can be used to chew anything from plants to other insects, and even dead mammals. In fact, the word ‟beetle” is thought to come from bitela, which is Old English for little biter - Thick, hardened front wings, called elytra, cover most of the beetle's body and its back wings offer great protection. Some are able to trap moisture under their wings, helping them survive in deserts where water is scarce. Others can live underwater because they are able to trap air under the elytra

THE KNOWLEDGE THAT BEETLE JELLY EXISTS
Little jelly cups for beetles that come in like 30 different flavors :'3
(and crickets, millipedes, grasshoppers, roaches, isopods/pill bugs, harvestmen, velvet ants and wasps can eat it also)

I'm studying insects because I love them and they bring me GREAT JOY and they're the most numerous and diverse animal group on the planet. Did you know that there is a fly that mimics bees and it is a pollinator just as important as bees. Did you know mosquitoes are pollinators. Did you know there's a millipede that grows moss on its back. The world is beautiful

It’s really nothing crazy but it was probably one of the first lesbian rom coms I watched and I fell in love with it!! I might even consider it one of my comfort movies 🍿
