fireflies. never saw em growing up out west. loved seeing them when i lived in michigan for a couple years
I'm in a small college town in NW Ohio and we have been getting more and more lightning bugs the past few summers and it has been incredible. Thousands of them light up the walling trails by the river at night and i get dozens of them around my home.

Communism is inherently evil.
Excuse me but it's actually weevil.
Praying mantis, because one time I had one square up and try to fight me and I am incredibly amused by that kind of single-minded Oblivion NPC confidence in a creature two inches tall
You could have learned from it.
Always been my favorite bug, to the point where Scyther is my second favorite Pokemon after Cubone. Its just so freaking cool. Gj evolution.
The skiing bug in the OG Tribes that the devs caught during development and decided to keep bc it was so fun.
no foolin?
Oh shit, another tribes fan!?
This one from Lego Star Wars 2 where if you die at the same time as the spider droid you were riding you become one and then can turn it into a normal character that you can still ride on top of
Also the brown-belted bumblebee
so fuzzyPraying mantises. They look cool, there's over 2000 species of them, ans they're one of the few arthropods with true 3d binocular vision
We cannot be forced to choose the lesser of two Weevils.
I prefer my bugs to to big and fluffy, so moths and tarantulas.
Bumblebees can be honorary good bugs, but they're too small to really do it for me.
Moths are good
I am reconsidering my stance on smallness. Look at this little dude!
I like horse flies.
They hurt when they bite but I really respect and identify with them, they never ever give up lol.
They're kinda pretty but mostly ugly. They're annoying and perseverant amd courageous. They like to drink blood.
No one else will agree but for me? The best bug is a horse fly.
Would you rather face in combat:
1 horse sized fly
or
100 fly sized horses?
100 horse size flies or
1 horse sized horse fly
horse sized fly would collapse under its weight or at the very least suffocate
They have cool eyes and may have the fastest flight speed of all bugs (still hate the bastards though)
Dragonflies & Mantises are cool as hell. Among the cutest bugs IMO is the Pellucid Hawk Moth
Dragonflies, while not true bugs, are super cool. I'm a fan of any predator that biologically perfected their anatomy to be hunters millions of years ago and never had to change much. Crocs and sharks too.
Can't bring them up without mentioning the statistic: Dragonflies are the most successful hunters on the planet, catching 95% of the prey they try to take.
woah.... gorgest
The praying mantis because it befriended a bullied kid in school and taught him kung fu to stand up to his bullies mantis style.
I like bees
Dragonflies!!!
Ladybugs
The Insulindian Phasmid
The Chief just called. This is it. Thread over. Lock it down, mods.
I like ants - not in my kitchen, obviously, but I think the way they've organized into an entire little society entirely through pheromones is pretty cool. I'd say the same thing about bees but I'm kinda scared of them.
Weevils were all over my grains the other week! For this crime, they are not cute 😤
But...that weevil is kinda...cute. If it would ask me nicely, I would pass my grains over. Sharing is caring.
I'm sorry my avian friend; but I fear that proboscis-looking thing precludes this weevil from being 'cute'.
velvet worm! i'm trying to add an adorable picture of one to my comment but i don't know how to add it so believe me when i say they're really cute!
look they are so perfect.
He poggin'
ANTS EZ
The sheer variety is crazy, you got
- Cute regular ant
- Red ouch ant
- Ants that farm mushrooms
- ants that farm aphids
- ants that drink the blood of their own young
- ants who's sole job it is to hang from the ceiling and store nectar in your belly for other working ants to come along and eat
- ants that stick leaves together to make an apartment building
And those are only the ones I can think of off the dome
Ants that are the door
The Presidents of the United States of America - Boll Weevil
i also like praying mantises and ants, but i'd be lying if i said that's not a magnificent weevil
also also i saw you land on that big juniper in my neighbor's yard last night and i hope you're not here to steal my toothbrush again
I'm coming for your neighbor this time
I like watching ants have their little wars on the driveway. I wonder what their lore is like
i have a phobia to bees and bee-like insects, and also don't really like most bugs. but luckily there are some bangers. the weevil is very cute, no argument there. stick bugs kind of rock. caterpillars, butterflies, moths, all of those are excellent. but i think the best bug is easily the praying mantis. it's just got a lot of personality, and also it's big but looks like a pokemon, so they're cool with me.
There's a lot to pick from, really. Maybe Isopods, if crustaceans count. Or spiders! I like jumping spiders and the member os the Argiope genus.
The flying drone bug from starcraft brood war is probably my favourite one. Certainly not the most important one in StarCraft history though
it's the pillbug
i know it's not a true bug. is that unfair? well get over it. life isn't fair.
:real-isopod-hours:
an online quiz thing guessed my exact city based on what I call those bugs
love those rolly guys
Woodlouse?
Isopods are great bc depending on what you call them they have the power to leak your coordinates to the
Hell yeah, Isopods r the best dudes
Snoots: ✅
Boots: ✅
Aww yeah it's weevil time.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought he looks like hes wearing shoes
Shrimps
is bugs
You just chose it because it looks like an owl!
I could have chosen the Owl Fly!
What a hoot!
I think objectively the answer is honeybees.
I think subjectively, the answer is the Mantis. But there are too many cool ass bugs out there. Cecropia moths are really rad.
The cutest bug of all time is the Agapostemon Splendons!! Its name translates to 'splendid dick lover' and it looks like God asked a four year old to design he coolest bug possible. It's half classic yellow and black stripes, and half irridiscent turqoise!
It's a solitary ground bee and I think they are absolutely lovely.
cool but also a bit sus
The Boll Weevil Monument in downtown Enterprise, Alabama, United States is a prominent landmark and tribute erected by the citizens of Enterprise in 1919 to show their appreciation to an insect, the boll weevil, for its profound influence on the area's agriculture and economy. Hailing the beetle as a "herald of prosperity," it stands as the world's first monument built to honor an agricultural pest.
At the base of the monument appears the following inscription:
"In profound appreciation of the Boll Weevil and what it has done as the herald of prosperity this monument was erected by the citizens of Enterprise, Coffee County, Alabama."
Apparently by killing all the cotton, the local farmers just switched up their crops, grew peanuts instead, and business was booming.
Weevil knows how to manage productive capacity better than free market. Ok that's pretty cool.
the best bug is one that doesn't fly and stays out of my apartment
It's not a bug, it's a feature!
Hallownest
I find these leaf-mimic insects really incredible
Honestly all bugs are pretty cool. I love ladybugs for their drip, but also have a lot of love for spiders even though they scare me
All of them but if i had to choose id choose firebugs, theyre having orgies on piles of horseshit in the sun, snapping their asses together, cool as fuck.
I know spiders aren't bugs, but look at this fellowI really love harvestmen. They remind me of soot sprites!
Assassin bugs are cool, but my gut says cicadas.
And if anyone is saying any insect that isn't part of the the order hemiptera then you're fake fans. Bees and ants aren't true bugs, they're insects. Respect OP's question, and that includes you too Dirt Owl. Weevils are coleopteras.
crane flies and daddy long legs
can't get enough of those long legs
