Big Motherfucking Insects

Posted 03-28-2012 at 02:49 AM by Nate
Read this: http://www.npr.org/blogs/krulwich/20...s-for-80-years

See this:


It's a story about how the Lord Howe Stick Insect was thought extinct, how some people found a tiny population of survivors, and the attempts at a captive breeding program. But mostly the photos are kinda cool.

Usually I'd be one for saving species but I would make an exception for them.

Yeah, well, there's a reason I gave such a literal and unambiguous title to this blog. Didn't want anyone to be surprised when they opened it.

I'm the opposite. I don't normally like insects, but I'd especially make an exception for these.

i think they're so goddamn cute. it's great that there are people out there who care enough to try and keep them from extinction. i'd definitely have one. i'd feed it and play with it everyday. i mean, they're stick insects. they're the epitome of friendliness.

i'm not a massive fan on certain bugs, but giant bugs i have a soft spot for. they fascinate me.

I think I know what I want for my next pet.

Also, wishing extinction on any species is pretty horrible. I wouldn't even want cockroaches to die out (not that they're likely to).

Watch the video of a baby hatching.

Those eggs must be bigger on the inside.

I love them. I'm confused by animal-lovers who don't. I can kind of see why they might not like small bugs, but big ones should surely count as "proper animals" to them?

Well even though I don't like the look of bugs, I to find them fascinating. It great news that the species was found again. I always don't like hearing about extinct animals

I love bugs. The bigger the better. The only exceptions are the ones that pose genuine harm to my person.

If they can't poison me or bite my eyes out I'm a-okay with them. I never mash a spider, never ever.

I have a moth infestation right now though, I kill those little shitters every chance I get.

I had a terrible mosquito infesation during that heat wave about a week ago. Woke up with at least 20 bites all over my hands, forearms and ankles. Itched like a bitch.

I feel guilty whenever I accidentally kill a bug. And I repeatedly tell folk off for killing them if they're not harming anyone.

I hate killing bugs. But at work I kill ever spider I find indoors. Only at work. I don't want to. I don't like to. I don't like being that person. But they killed my compassion. Just by following their instincts! Goddamn, I'm a monster. And I don't even make a dent in their population.
