oh to have big fluffy wings to wrap around my wife

For a while I’ve been wanting to compile a list of foods that can mimic the diet of general insect and terrestrial arthropod theriotypes, so here’s an attempt at it. I’ve opted to list by diet, but many arthropods will find that multiple apply or that their kintype’s diet changes significantly throughout its life. So consider this a list of suggestions and examples rather than a strict categorization. In addition, every order of arthropod listed here contains a multitude of species with a variety of different diets. Researching your particular species is the best way to know for sure what they eat.

Detritivores (like isopods, millipedes, or grubs) primarily eat dead and decaying plant matter such as leaves, rotten wood, or flake soil. This can involve a range of crunchy, soft, papery, or flaky textures, but overwhelmingly one color: brown. Here are some foods that may mimic aspects of the detritivorous diet:

• Chips of any kind, but especially plantain chips, as crunchy leaves

• Coconut flakes and chips, or coconut-based cookies like macaroons

• Crispy fried dough, like churros

• Refried beans or mashed potatoes, as rich soil for grubs

• Brown rice

• Bonito flakes

• Bran or flake cereal, especially with chocolate milk

• Empty ice cream cones, crushed up

• Chocolate cake or pastries, mini donuts, mud pie, etc.

• Brisket in gravy, which is surprisingly similar to rotting wood

———

Carnivores (e.g. mantids, centipedes, wasps, many kinds of larvae) primarily eat meat. For an insect, this can mean hunting other insects, scavenging dead animals and insects, or being laid as a parasite inside a host. Obviously, any kind of meat fits the bill, but some crunchy or gooey textures — or vegan restrictions — might be covered by other means. Here are some foods that may mimic some aspects of the carnivorous insect diet:

• Human-grade edible insects, such as crickets or ants

• Cylindrical pastries with filling, like jelly donuts, eclairs, or cannoli, to mimic bursting prey like mealworms or aphids

• Gummy insects or other creature shapes

• Dumplings or pasta with filling, like tortellini or ravioli

• Calzones or pizza rolls

• Seaweed sheets, rice paper, or filo dough, to mimic the papery texture of insect wings

———

Frutivores (like beetles), nectarivores (like butterflies and bees), and herbivores (like caterpillars) primarily eat fruit, nectar, and vegetables, respectively. This is the easiest and most self-evident to mimic, since our raw produce is the same as theirs. Still, there is some to be said about the method of ingestion:

• Drinking fruit juice, soda, or flavored water with a straw mimics a proboscis or piercing/sucking mouthparts

• Fluted or colored glasses, patterned and textured bowls, or bendy/fun straws can mimic the experience of feeding from plants or flowers

• Eating whole fruit rather than cut fruit, and picking juicier or riper fruit

• Eating raw produce whole with your hands rather than cutting it up, like a lettuce wedge

• Large fruit like watermelon can make you feel smaller

• Jell-O or similar gelatin foods mimic beetle jelly

• Milkshakes, to mimic sap or slurry

I hope this list is helpful for other arthropod therians! Feel free to suggest additions or DM me.

◡◡◡ MOTH TRANSMASC ꩜

☆ definition : a moth themed transmasculine flag !! for transmasculine beings who like moths , are moths , etc etc

note : loosely based on this rosey footman moth !! because it reminded me of the transmasc flag :3

they’ve never made little bugs smaller than me…..

#moth #moth posting #mothling #moth therian #bug furry #deaths head hawk moth

it is so important to me that bug/insect alterhumans post about their experiences

especially since bug/insect alterhumans are so often bullied into hiding, like I was.

please please let those kids feel seen before they repress a part of themselves that is so beautiful and important

I need more silly bug friends :(

Are you able to do insect mask commisions? Such as bumblebees perhaps?

I have yet to attempt any insects or arthropods in general, but I’d very much like to one of these days! Here’s some miscellaneous concepts tho- the cross hatched sections are where I’d put the mesh to see out
