Hi, Steve!
Dragonflies
It's crazy that they're at the top of the list for most effective predators, with a 90-something percent hunting success rate

Cicadas, of many species. They're so cute, and I love their singing, and did I mention they're really fucking cute?
GOOD bug
Thanks for asking. I like these spikey Katydids. Theyre very neat
thats incredible holy shit
Gotta be jumping spiders because they are cute and smart
Gotta go with scorpions, I just have to hand it to them for their commitment to being terrifying primordial motherfuckers. plus they glow in UV light
Honorable mention goes to the orchid mantis for pure style
those are good ones
spoiler
roll-y-poll-y aka pill bugs are just really kinda cute little cartoons
The comrade reading this
Darwin's bark spiders.
They have the strongest silk in the world! Also they practice self emasculation, which I relate to.
Just looked them up, they are sick
Millipedes :)
Spiders. Are some of the few arthropods I like
Mantids are pretty fuckin cool
potato bug
Ants...the insect species willing to wage a protracted people's war against termite oppressors and Australians.
crawfish yum yum yum
Moths, especially really fluffy ones.
For example - the pine arches moth.
I’m a big fan of my scariest fluffy roommate: house centipedes
"Thank you for your service but you make my skin crawl"
Hummingbird hawk-moth (in Polish called fruczak gołąbek), it's funny example of ecological niche filling in the absence of real hummingbids, and it even looks so similar people are getting constantly dumbfounded seeing it.
Oh my god these things are amazing
mantids are enchanting, but i really like lady bugs. seeing them brings me joy.
