is your url buglvr because you love bugs? i sure hope so. tell me about some bugs you love pls :3
you guessed correctly 🤭 i am a lover of bugs. i kind i grew from a weird bug loving kid to a weird bug loving adult. when i was little i really loved pillbugs and i would spend time flipping rocks to find them. they’re still a favorite and i especially love their large aquatic relative, the giant isopod. i even have a stuffed animal giant isopod. his name is oswald
i am also a big weevil fan. i just think they look so silly with those long snouts and big eyes. there are a lot of weevil species but i’m a big fan of the acorn weevil especially. they use their long snouts to pierce holes in acorns.
velvet worms are somewhat bug like creatures but they’re actually not insects, nor are they worms. they’re part of the onychophora phyla, which does share some similarities with arthropods and annelids. they’re just so cute that i couldn’t resist talking about them. look at that happy little guy :D
another honorable non-insect mention that i just love too much to leave out is the vinegaroon, also known as the giant whip scorpion. they are arachnids just like spiders. they definitely look a bit frightening but they’re relatively harmless. their pinchers are very big but they aren’t venomous and they’ll only pinch when feeling threatened. the name vinegaroon comes from their ability to spray a mist that contains acetic acid when they are threatened.
thank you for reading my bug ramblings. i hope this didn’t sound too much like a seventh grade science presentation. i really enjoy sharing my random little bug facts. :)) <3 stay crawly my friends
