What is your favourite insect?

Post your favourite insect, give a reason why if you want to! :biggrin:

Mine would be the pond skater



Did you know pond skaters can attack in swarm and eat honeybees?

Butterflies. I can't stand any other type of insect bigger than a 5p coin. Especially when they have a thick body/legs :hide:

What about beetles though. Especially stag beetles. They are loyal like dogs and make great pets!
Stick insects (or should I say carausius morosus). I think they're cool :h:

Thanks for the suggestion but no thanks. I feel sick now. :smile:

I'll also be having bad dreams about them too. Thank you very much. :smile:

Never heard of carausius morosus, I thought they were phasmalids, but I think there are subspecies.
I love these too
Cicadas because of their cool wings.

I though that carausius morosus was just the generic pet stick insect species... oh well, Biology has never been my strongest point :tongue:

I'm not blind :biggrin: Japan agrees with me. It's common to have a Japanese rhinoceros beetle as a house pet in Japan, they are also commonly a kids first pet! They also have annual beetle fight tournaments which you can find on youtube :laugh:
