The Braggadocious Ant (Муравьишка хвастунишка)

Soyuzmultfilm, 1961

I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A HUGE ANT COLONY IN BRAZIL AND IT LOOKED LIKE A KINGDOM SO IN THEORY HALLOWNEST COULD BE REAL

I'm guessing you've never you seen West African Termite Mounds?

They are genuinely insane.

They even carbon-dated a set of four mounds in the Congo’s Miombo Woods and found them to be between 680 and 2200 years old. [via] HOLY SH*T

Think fairly often about this video I took of an ant sliding down a leaf while carrying an entire moth

Here's some Danny Phantom characters as the insects I think they'd be:

Sam- great black digger wasp: wasps are fairly underrated insects, helping to pollinate and control insect populations (and rarely stinging people- less than 1% of all wasp species sting!). These wasps consume nectar as an adult, and are pollinators of flowers, though their young are carnivorous (and parasitoids!). The adults aren't aggressive, but are capable of stinging

Tucker- scarab beetle (Sacred scarab): the beetle commonly used in ancient Egyptian art and mythology. Associated with Khepri, manifestation of Ra, specifically the early morning sun (because the dung the beetles roll looks kinda like the sun going up in the sky). Although they're not a particularly flashy beetle, they're robust and well adapted to their environment

Jazz- honey bee: industrious and well-organized insects that have been kept by humans for several thousand years. They've been associated with a number of deities across time. Interestingly, there's a tradition of 'telling the bees' in Western Europe, where beekeepers told their hives of notable events that have occurred to them and their households

Danny- death's head hawk moth: moths and butterflies are often associated with transformation (due to them undergoing metamorphosis), and death's head hawk moths have been associated with death for centuries. Interestingly, they're also known for producing a loud squeaking sound when they're alarmed! (And as a funny side note, death's head hawk moths are known to raid the hives of honey bees in order to eat their honey)

Clockwork- dragonfly: dragonflies are VERY old insects, first appearing in the fossil record around 300 million years ago, and they've changed fairly little design-wise since then. They're very fast and effective predators (with a success rate of 95 to 97%!) and are capable of flying in any direction

Assigning animals and other symbolism to characters is always so fun! I don't know much about insects, but these all feel like good choices for the characters. :3

Different topic today because I received an alarming balcony visitor! He had a very loud buzz and was at least 3 cm long. He swooped at me while I was watering my plants and I dropped to the ground and kept still. But it turns out he is not a bee and he does not even sting; he was just here to make a sale!

His scientific name is Promachus yesonicus or シオヤアブ, the kanji for which are 塩屋虻: literally, salt-merchant horsefly. The white bob on his tail (which I believe only males have) is the salt he is peddling!

Also, it turns out that 塩屋 can be a surname too. It's read Shioya or sometimes Enya. It belongs to approximately 2,700 people.

塩 means salt. It's read しお or エン.

屋 means roof, and by extension, house. By further extension, it also means shop or seller/dealer. It also works as a suffix denoting what a shop sells. For example, a パン屋 [ぱんや] sells bread, a 花屋 [はなや] sells flowers, a 本屋 [ほんや] sells books, and an 居酒屋 [いざかや] (pub) is where you can "exist" and drink. This suffix also appears as ～屋さん, with the honorific -さん. It's polite to say お寿司屋さん [おすしやさん] or ラーメン屋さん. You can also use __料理屋さん [りょうりやさん] to mean "restaurant serving __ cuisine."

虻 means horsefly or gadfly. It's read あぶ or ボウ. The left radical, 虫 insect, hints at the meaning, and the right radical, 亡 (perish/deceased (hmm...)), provides the reading ボウ.

Yo, can we talk about how dope Steve's "Bug Watching Expedition" hat was during that one episode?

Because it was.

Agreed. Top Tier design, perfectly matches his goofy vibe and is just cute in general.

Also Fun Fact, Bugs is my favorite Steve's era episode (Tied with Joe's Sketchbook Special). His Dorkie character mixed with his hobby as an amateur entomologist is just the perfect mix. I actually wish they brought Steve's love of bugs back in the Reboot, even as just a small detail.
