Insects you actually like

[mvd]

What are yours?

Mine are:

crickets (sign of fall)

ladybugs (cute little insects)

I don't hate moths, but they are dirty and get in the house a lot. I try to capture them and put them outside.

1. There are these black and red bugs

that are in their mating season right now. Every where I go, I see a couple hooked together. I just ran into about 200 of them doing the deed at the gas station. I am losing my mind. They fly around while in the process. What are they? Aaahhhh!

But other than that, ants fascinate me. Bees do too! They are always on a mission, but I don't want to be attacked by either of them.

[RushIsRot]

28. They're called Love Bugs. n/t

[Shell Beau]

45. They sure like to love a lot!!!

[fiveleafclover]

48. Are you in Florida?

I remember those from when I lived down there. Some highway drivers would put vaseline on their hoods to keep all the lovebugs from ruining their paint. The swarms were that big.

2. Aunt Bea

[BiggJawn]

3. Bees

All kind of Bees. Yellow Jackets are NOT bees! Polistes Wasps are NOT bees!

And Preying Mantis' because they remind me of my ex-wife. Fuck your brains out, then bite your head off...

[Rising Phoenix]

5. I am terrified of bees...

very long story...but they make me break out in a cold sweat...AAAAAAAAA

[bicentennial_baby]

11. awwww

:hug:

[mvd]

7. I should have added Praying Mantises

They are pretty ugly, but nice and helpful insects.

[MissMillie]

4. I like spiders

because they eat the other bugs.

[Hugin]

13. I like "wolf" or "jumping spiders"...

Yeeeks! To the rest of spiders though.

[Skittles]

42. OMG!

I can pick up wolf spiders and toss them outside! They're the only ones though! All spiders do, however, fascinate me. :D

[pitohui]

18. spiders ain't insects

nitpickers anonymous, i know

[Hell Hath No Fury]

6. Dragonflies are seriously cool...

I consider it good luck when I see one.

[never cry wolf]

23. Definitely, plus they eat mosquitos....

My mom used to buy dragonfly nests every spring to keep the skeeters down.

[fudge stripe cookays]

24. Yep, they're my favorite.

We have a pond, so we see lots of little Evinrudes out there buzzing around.

I like the blue ones.

[Akoto]

8. Preying Mantis.

We have some that hang around the pool enclosure. They never cause us any trouble, and they're cool to look at. :)

[Robeson]

41. They are cool. Thats mine, too!

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

9. Ladybugs and lightning bugs

I like ants as long as they're not in my house.

[Rising Phoenix]

10. I like butterflys...

[billyskank]

12. Ladybirds!

Everyone likes ladybirds!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

14. Cicadas, bees, ants, ladybugs, butterflies, cricketts

I love the sound of cicadas in summertime in southern Europe. I can't picture southern France without the pleasant sounds of the cicadas all around in the countryside. Ants are very interesting to me. When I was a little kid many years ago, I once spent an entire summer observing an ant hill and keeping a diary of what they did. They're fascinating.

[calico1]

15. Ladybugs, fireflies,

butterflies.

[mvd]

16. Yep, I like fireflies' uniqueness

And butterflies are very graceful.

[pitohui]

17. butterflies

dragonflies

moths are not dirty, where do you get that, i like the luna moth & those moths that look like bark w. eyes, they are the best in design, not dirty at all

[Taverner]

19. I like watching honeybees from a distance...

[MrScorpio]

20. Bees, butterflies and ladybugs

[anarch]

21. cicadas are pretty cool

Dragonflies are nice, too.

[scarlet_owl]

22. Moths, butterflies, bees, praying mantises, fireflies.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

25. It'd be easier for me to list the ones I don't like; but here's a fave...

Luna moth

[greendog]

36. Check out my post below....

...I made it before seeing yours. :)

[Shoeempress]

26. ladybugs, lighting bugs, woolly bear caterpillars, butterflies.

Everything else gets smushed

[huskerlaw]

27. Damn CRICKETS

kept waking me up last night. It's finally cool enough to sleep with the window open and those bastards create a horrible racket right outside my bedroom.

Tonight, I buy Raid and go spray happy. :evilgrin:

[Left Is Write]

29. Ladybugs, butterflies, and dragonflies.

[barb162]

31. yes, all three

[Heidi]

30. Scarabs.

[Meatwad]

32. All of them.

They do good for the planet, so I like 'em all.

[mvd]

34. I wish I could like them all

There are a few that just seem to be pests.

[greendog]

33. Luna Moths

[mvd]

35. That is a pretty moth

I've only seen the brown ones.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

46. Brilliant minds...

:D :beer:

[Kathleen04]

37. RollyPoll-ys/Pill Bugs

I think maybe I drowned a few as a kid, then I tried to keep some as pets..now a days I just try to skoot them out the door if I find them inside. :)

[petronius]

38. Stick insects and lightning bugs

and taratulas, but I'm not sure spiders count as insects

[nuxvomica]

39. "Walking sticks"

They are so cool. Like something out of a fantasy story. Like little Ents.

[hfojvt]

40. Bats!!

They eat mosquitos and have radar. Plus, if they bite you, you get super-powers.

Look, up in the sky, it's hyrdophobia man!!

[eleny]

43. Bumblebees!

[BikeWriter]

44. Ladybugs and flutterbys.

[Divameow77]

47. I don't LIKE any bugs

but I don't hate butterflies or lightening bugs.
All other bugs are icky, icky, icky.

[hunter]

49. Ants. I'm a bit obsessive about them.

If you think of an ant colony as a single organism, they make a lot more sense. Ant trails are the arms and the fingers of the beast, reaching out from the colony's shelter like a shape-shifting giant octupus.

Large stable ant colonies exhibit a certain kind of intelligence. Different ant colonies have different "personalities" even among the same species of ants.

[TrogL]

50. Cecropia moths

They're HUGE!

[MrSlayer]

51. Praying Mantis, Spiders

Of course they are friendly bugs that kill the nasty ones.
All hail the Mantis!

[Parche]

52. insects

Praying Mantis
spiders, smaller ones

[jmm]

53. I guess I'm the only one here who doesn't like lady bugs

I use to think they were really cute until my building got infested by them. I literally had so many that my windows were completely covered and no light could come in. Somebody spread a rumor in my building that if you kill them they'll give off a scent that attracts more. I don't know if that's true but the problem didn't go away until someone got the idea of vacuuming them.

I do like fire flies. Atleast they wouldn't have made my room pitch black.
