Pride bugs!!

We have the pan-tipede, the les-bee-an, the gay-terpillar, the transnail, and others whose puns I couldn’t think of.

(But this wasn’t for the puns; I just like bugs.)

(Edit: Fixed the snail’s shell patterns slightly.)

(Sound on)

I was carrying my own bug-infested corpse to the river at night and dropping it into the water.

Pro tip: if you are having a hard time feeling less panic around bugs: name them! Just refer to them by a name. They will not be bothered if you mix them up, and it helps a LOT for learning a more measured and rational response to their presence.

"Oh that spider in the corner? That's Gerald"

People almost never believe me that this works, then they try it and are shocked at its impact over a relatively short span of time.

PS: this is a tip to help people with a fear of bugs become more neutral towards them, not a space for snarky comments or bug hate! if you don't think this would work for you, keep scrolling!

some of you people really cannot separate your own dislike of insects & arachnids from your lack of education abt their role in the global food web.

no one is saying you have to love spiders. personally I'm fucking terrified of them. but they serve an incredibly important role ecologically and they cannot be eradicated without severe consequences.

this also goes for flies, mosquitoes, and wasps. I do not give a shit how much you hate them, suck it the fuck up and deal with it because they're necessary.
