Help! Bug me!

Mar 23, 2008 22:01

I know I really some bug people, as a good boy should I love entomology, have even considered entomophagy, and as a software developer am responsible for producing and devouring a fair number bugs. But this is completely different. I have to choose a bug to be vectorized for a business card (everybody at work already has one), which is right ( Read more... )

You're not really prickly, but you can seem tough and can blend in with your surroundings. I nominate Thorn bug:

Seconded. The thorn bug looks really bad ass.

tee hee. I saw him in jaws, and can be prickly when I don't shave! Thanks for the custom bug typing.

Maybe I should do a personality quiz for bugs.

Gimme your shit! troyworks March 24 2008, 18:08:16 UTC

did you realize that dung beetles are in competition for balls of shit? Watch a video at times, there are the strategies of building the biggest one, and muggers which try to steal them.

Theft is so bad, dung beetles have special polarized vision, to help orient to the moon for the straightest shot out of the pile of shit, as that low to the ground they can't see shit.

Wow, didn't realize Scarab's came in so many colors, thanks for recommending that.. I think after the Mummy movies I'm a bit intimidated by them appearing in hordes.
