velvet ants are so cool what do you mean this wasp is an ant that is actually a wasp

True! They're very cool! Apart from the well known red velvet ants, did you know they also come in blue, yellow, and white?

That's a really large beetle.

This is a greater stag beetle, know as European stag beetle, or as I call it "pinch-pinch owchie". Listed in the Red Book of Ukraine.

My most favourite beetle species

We really need to acknowledge the problem of bug centered blogs being regular victims of harassment. Can you imagine running a blog about horses and having to get comments and messages every day about how much their hatred and needless killing of horses is justified and that you're a psychotic vegan that hates people with phobias and wants humanity to die of disease. Every single day. We should not have to fucking put up with this, fix your hearts genuinely

Absolutely and if I can add, the animal that most kills people is mosquitoes, and they continue to populate exesivelly because they breed like rabbits so all our attempts kill some + a bunch of other insects, then the mosquitoes take up more of that big space.

There could be much more reasonable and manageable numbers of mosquitoes and other actually dangerous & disease spreading bugs because other insects would keep them in check & occupy space they'd need to spread.

Like. No killing insects & spreading pesticides generally isn't 'disease control' because it brings space for the ones that spread so many of those bug related diseases.
