I just found my dream species to find and I’m so happy

[invisible-dragons]

I have an irrational fear of cockroaches so if someone who really likes them wants to tell me positive things about them (roles they play in environments, cool features of specific species, etc.) I think that might help

Obviously no pressure on anyone, I just think that the fact that so much information that I can find about them is steeped in hatred and fear doesn't really help

If you're going to hate on cockroaches (or qny other bugs tbh) please don't do it here, this is not a space to hate them

Lovely little golden ale 🧡

Often I flip a log to find a nest of carpenter ants, and if I'm lucky there's also a few derpy ant crickets among them; apparently if I'm really lucky, there's an ant-loving cockroach or two! Likely Myrmecoblatta wheeleri (thanks @crevicedwelling!)

(As always, I swear to Christ I'll be blocking fools for bug hate. Grow, or move along)
