i think stinging bees are all boys though

And wasps are the noble martyrs of the insect world - they eat all our pests and yet we still portray them as nasty.

You're right, wasps are the worst though. I got stung Wednesday after a wasp crawled up my pant leg. My leg is still swollen and itchy. I hate wasps

Apparently my roommate ate live termites while she was in south america.

Ugh. I can deal with the idea of cooked and seasoned termites but fuck. Just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable.

I remember some monkeys use sticks as tools, which they use to get insects out of nests and eat them. did your roommate use a stick as a tool to eat termites in south america?

I believe she just pinched one up. She said of the situation: "They were chill. Like they were really cool about being eaten."

I used to have Madagascar hissing cockroaches, real cool things. They don't have wings and they'd hiss when you pet them and just kind of sit around and chill most of the time. Had a ton of babies and we had more than 200 at one point. They liked cucumber and fish food and eventually I fed most of them to my chickens because they wouldn't stop reproducing. Highly recommend for low maintenance insects that can subsist on table scraps and can be kept anywhere between almost freezing and madagascar.

Couldn't find any pics of them :(

I took this first day I got my camera (like last August?)

As a sidenote, my grandparents live out in the country and this summer when the cicadas were mating you could hear the buzzing from the forest throughout the house. They had thousands of dead cicadas (presumably most of which were the males) lining their gutters and backyard.

When I was backpacking last winter, I made it to the Parque Arvi in Medellin Colombia, where I witnessed a wasp called a battle with a tarantula, paralyze it, and dig a hole to bury it. The buried tarantula remains alive and is eaten by the wasp's larvae. Locally these wasps are referred to as matacaballos, or "horse killers".

I might not have got so close to take this shot if I knew more about the wasp's sting. Fortunately the two were preoccupied at the time.
