This forum doesn't need to be all prejudiced against insects and sh*t, know what I'm sayin? We have a poll for all the insects that piss us off, so I'm gonna be fair and make one for the insects that are awesome.

I know Moths like to eat your clothes and Crickets can keep you up at night but they're still cool.

Fireflies seem pretty harmless, and they're a nice indicator of summer weather.  Plus, it was a great series.  Wink

I recognize the overall importance of bees, though.

I am going with honeybees. As a beekeeper they always amaze me with their work ethic. As pollinators they rule. And the honey is true ambrosia. Watching them at work is to see coordination par excellence.

Probably beetles are my favorite insect.  Especially big ones like the Hercules beetle or the Rhinoceros beetle.

Much harder than the other insect poll. For sheer beauty, butterflies and dragonflies. For cuteness, ladybugs (they’re useful, too). For cool looks, beetles, mantices, crickets and grasshoppers. For interesting society, pollination and honey — the bees, of course. Still, there’s something special with the walking stick/stick bug. I’ve never seen one in real life, but they look fascinating and make good pets (according to Wikipedia).

That's my favourite:



Is it really called ladybug in English? But it is not a bug...

I decided to go mantis.  They're kind of cute in an insect sort of way.  Plus I have to give them credit for that Umphrey's McGee album. Tongue

just read on wiki, Mantis and cockroaches are in same family, related insect class, so both are hardcore animals with huge survivla insitncts then, neat...

fond of the assassin bug (Reduviidae)

are there really people being kept up by crickets?  seems better than jet traffic or automatic weapons fire

By a slight margin. LOL

By the way, finding that the mantises are related to roaches is rather disconcerting. Cry
