Bugs 🐛🦋🦗

[nightglow]

I know that in general, bugs aren't very popular. It is common that people are afraid of bugs or a bug of some kind for one reason or another, bad experience , certain features , reminders of decay .

But I wanted to know what are some of your favorite bugs, or most tolerable bugs?
(Something cute, pretty, kind, useful, or fascinating?)

Have your opinion about any certain bug changed after learning more about it?

Are there any bugs that you appreciate existing even if you dont particularly like the bug?

Have you eaten a bug or is there a bug you would consider trying?
Also, do you consider a mudbug (crawfish/crawdad) a bug or more of a fish creature like a crab?

And lastly, is there anything you would write to Blathers about regarding bugs and his fears/anxiety?

I really like jumping spiders! But I’d stay away from spiders and just watch them from a safe distance, only to interact if needed. Like move a harmless one to a safer place or kill a harmful/potentially harmful one

I wouldn’t really purposely touch any bug, I suppose, unless I had to, and just get it to crawl on something or use a bug catcher if needed.

But I really hate snail poison! I know not many would care, but I think it’s wrong. They are harmless and all they want to do is survive, they don’t know you don’t want them munching on your plants, they don’t know they even belong to anyone!

While ants are somewhat brats. Honestly, in ACNH when I showed Blathers an ant, he said a lot more nicer things about it that what I would have.

I like spiders, and we have tons of them where I live. I read a book called "Be Nice to Spiders" as a kid and it always stuck with me that spiders are useful and good to have around.

I also like bugs that eat garden pests, like ladybugs and lacewings. I like some wasps for the same reason and because i have fig trees.

Oh- and i like carpenter bees! They hang out on the deck and chase the stinging wasps away. They kind of hover and follow people around when they're in the area. It's funny.

I like to eat crawfish, so i tend to think of them as seafood.

I have eaten roly poly bugs before, but i was a really, really small child. Would not repeat today.

I would maybe give blathers the Be Nice to Spiders book. Show how there are some really pretty spiders that keep away pesky bugs like flies, lol.
