I literally work at bug daycare
We caught a CRIMINAL today
So we put the bugs in ice cube trays with water to make it easier to count them and separate them by species. And we had found this big ol hellgrammite. He was not happy about being put into the tiny ice cube tray and kept going into the corner and looking up at me sadly.
We go down to the stream to take another sample, we were only gone for 1 min and 30 seconds
Come back and he's gone. My man somehow crawled out of the tray (which isn't unusual for a hellgrammite tbh) and then fucking hauled ass to the edge of the table where he presumably fell off into the tall grass below. I searched and searched cause he needs water to breathe, he's an aquatic organism. Eventually I was able to find him and I put him back and was lecturing him like he was a puppy who had peed on the carpet. My coworker had to stop me cause I was saying "naughty! naughty boy!" And we were out in the middle of the woods
Saddest little baby in the room vvvvvvv
