Arthropods--the most ubiquitous and diverse animals on Earth.

In the Realm of Material Phenomenalization. Maybe it is a stalfos. Four pages of information. And only one person commenting. The same person who started the thread. Well one post in there from someone else, whom I guess this person had to pay. That cicada molting qualifies for best cinematography short.

Dung Beetles have the right of way. Well this is obviously written during the Biden/Kamala Harris administration.
Does Arthropods include Flour weevels? Because I don't care if you put up four pages or forty pages of information, you are not going to convince me over to the way of sympathy. Man those things are gross. Especially when they get into your food. And don't even get me started on that scene in Snowpiercer on how they make the Food bars or Protein bars. I tried to copy your Dung beetles have the right of way picture, but it wouldn't let me. I was going to put it on a Politics forum that I go to to get a point across about Joe Biden.

Thanks! I am not the biggest HTML literate person. Can I hire you on that whole [img] posting deal?

I notice in some forums it won't work. No wonder people have so much angst when coming on the internet.

Mucho thanks. I just had my bug V-8 today. I really wish this thread was about Invasive species beetles. I would do one myself, but I am just not that into it. I usually get a gag reflex if I talk about bugs that much. I'll admit though the tortoise beetle looks cool. The Water Penny beetle to me looks just like a trilobite. If Coluber or someone has some information, I would like to know if that is what Trilobites may have evolved into.

Scientists say that Trilobites went extinct. But that doesn't make sense. Since Birds are supposedly dinosaurs. Then that means Dinosaurs never really went extinct. They evolved or changed. Those arthropods that murdered Amelia Earhardt. Uhh..I would stay away from them.

yeah, different coding i guess.

if the img tags don't work, try this --

Morning dreamer, I use the past to predict, like when Laura Coates says, "Here we are in the darkness. And perhaps that is why I am here talking about bugs. But hey it beats playing the game Dark Castle, ok instead of saying Kenneth Copeland I should switch gears to Jimmy Swaggert.
I like ladybugs. Well definitely.
Ladybugs (not like the one pictured down below.) I am guessing that this is what this thread is meant for -- because definitely you don't use dynamite to kill a bug. Unless you are living on planet Klendathu. No one has made it to a single molecule force or even the intermediate stage of Dark Castle.


Cutsey. But somehow I have a hidden belief that these things can bite. Bugs have made it past some of the craziest things that mankind has ever done. The DoDo is gone. But we still have pretty much all of the same bugs that existed for like the last million years. I wonder what kind of Arthropods live in the Grand Canyon? Hmm...

Ladybugs (ladybird beetles) don't bite, but they are toxic, so the birds don't eat them. They exude a poison, and their orange coloration is an aposematic warning to birds. Ironically, people like them because of their color.

This year we had a horrid and unnatural (and unexpected) influx of aphids and many gardeners resorted to purchasing ladybugs ($25 for 250) as ladybugs love aphids. It was so bad here that people were posting photos of a leaf absolutely smothered (many layers) in aphids and aphid poo was all over cars, decks, porches, and sidewalks. Seriously, it was so bad on the ground (or 'floor' as Brits would say) that I walked my dog into the middle of the street at times. Who doesn't love a ladybug? Aphids!!

I actually think that large insects are neat. They remind me of those giant wasps on Sinbad. Ladybugs not only make cool insects they are cool Pixar animated characters, I think one was in A Bug's Life. If you want to see a funeral procession for arthropods -- you'll be waiting a long time. They have backers in hollywood.
One of my favorite science fiction stories of all time involves a Ladybug. But they are disguised as a human. Going about daily day to day business, buying a newspaper or a pack of smokes. The one person who finally caught on to it, for the longest time thought the Ladybug (or something Ladybug-ish) their Suit -- looked suspicious. Because it never had wrinkles in it ever. And also the person's eyes and hair line looked way too neat and perfect.

I am guessing that one day we will all have to do some of our bug disguising to avoid the Justice Democrats.

We had large swarms of wasps, too... people are posting pics of them gorging on dropped apples. It was/is so bad that you cannot eat outside, or leave a drink, or even have a treat pouch for your pooch because they swarm you. I certainly don't want to kill them, but I want them out of my garden!

Make a show like Wicked Tuna except it is about Wasps (Attacking gardens.) Sounds like the Apocalypse is going on where you are at! Maybe here where I am at too. I left a gas station just now and opened a door for a lady. She said thanks.

Then when she got to her car she shouts "Ahh!!! AHHH!!" Like she shouted twice, like someone was mugging her. Then she shouts "Bee!! Bee!! AHH!
I instantly knew what she meant, but I usually don't have a freak out session about it. Because I have been noticing bees literally seem to wait for a person to open their door (they are getting better at this than flies, flies I think do this on some mechanized reflex) the Bees attack at the person's head, and then they proceed to go into the car.
Because they know that that is where the good food is. Bees are supposedly smart too. It's like -- use the base grid Five and calm down

These bugs..They are the manito guardians. Super-deer, Super-Moose, Super-Bear. Now it is super bee.

If Pixar makes A Bug's Life part Two, A Chinese Praying Mantis would be the perfect villain.

I don't know about bees. I was stung once, in the crook of my knee, in ... musta been 1966. I don't mind them and do plant pollinator plants for them; however, I've been reading for years now about these "killer bees" and how they're overtaking our "honey bees" - do you know anything about that?
