    Reasons you don't want to be a bug

    Nobody wants to be a bug. List your reasons here.



    A. Some spiders have a detachable penis (or two) so they can continue to have sex while doing something else, like watching TV or doing laundry.

    Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

    ooooh! that is cool!

    B. It might suck to be a caterpillar. Some wasps lay their eggs inside of caterpillars...and eat them from the inside out. But this wasp (or its larvae) turns the caterpillar into a zombie bodyguard.

      c. humans have better toys.

      d. I like the thought of not getting killed after sex and praying mantis males don't always survive losing their virginity.

Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed.

        e. You're only another wing-case in the crowd, as insects outnumber humans several million to one.

          f. Everything eats you - your own mate, your children, other insects' children, fungus, people, you name it, you are prey, even if you're a predator.

          g. Even if you're beneficial to humans, they won't want you in their homes and will go to great lengths to keep you out of it or destroy you if you move in.

          h. Kids catch you and pull your wings off or torch you with magnifying glasses.

            I've been trying to convince myself that I never really did this, but, Alas! I did.

              I've wing pulled once or twice. I never really tried out torching things with a magnifying glass.

                  Not only will they pull your wings off, they'll make them into necklaces. (Not much gets to me, but these butterfly wing necklaces creep me out).

                        Kids make you fight other insects/animals. Youtube is full of them, I brought up a few dozen for my family to be horrified at.

                            Depending on the sort of bug you are, if you use your self-defense mechanism, you are probably dead anyhow.

                              I'm thinking if the primary weapon has better than even odds of killing you in the course of standard use then it forfeits the right to be called a self defense mechanism. Colony or hive defense maybe since I'm pretty sure you're talking bees but not self defense.
