i think that hotch is the kinda guy to handle insects. let me explain- they're on a case in a rural town, and there's a cute grasshopper on the hood of the van they're standing next to. this little guy needs to go back home, hotch thinks. but in the middle of a conversation with morgan and an officer, but the grasshopper is right there, alone.
he reaches out to it and attempts to catch it in his hand, but it hops around too much, eventually hotch gets it cupped between his hands and a triumphant smiles breaks loose. he looks back up to morgan and the officer who are just... baffled, faces riddled with confusion. the unit chief just squabbled with a grasshopper? calmly, hotch bends down and lets it go in the grass (whispering an encouraging it to 'go home buddy') and stands back up straight. "right so as I was saying, this unsub...."
hotchreid bonus: aaron definitely puts a grasshopper on spencer's shoulder/hair and waits for him to freak out. hotch thinks he looks so cute with a grasshopper in his hair as well as when he freak out <3 but he's forgiven later that night when he makes spencer's favorite dinner and watches stark trek <3
