    I can tolerate almost all of them, but mosquitos need to be burned out of existence, extermination, eradication.

    Bees and butterflies have pretty privilege while I’m happy my squatter spiders are helping me annihilate every ant trying to set up shop inside my house. Nothing personal to the ants as long as they stay in the garden and help pollinate the flowers.

    If you come inside my home, you better hope the spiders find you before I do.

    Spiders pay rent by leaving ant corpses on the floor when they are done sucking them dry. I vacuumed 12 by one spider last weekend. Bro is my favourite tenant.

    Still dipping below freezing. I can’t wait to see anything spring like. Bring on the insects and their mighty hordes.

      I had a wasp’s nest over my back door for 11 years and only got stung once when I grabbed a broom handle with a wasp on it. Even then it was just one wasp, it’s not as if the entire swarm came after me.

    Fuck you stink bugs, get the fuck out of my house, it is warm outside go be stinky out there. Fuck you asian beetles trying to pretend to be lady bugs. Get out of all the corners and either go get eaten by a useful bug or bird. Wasps, as long as you enjoy laying eggs in hornworms and don’t build your nest within a few feet of my doors you keep doing your thing and let me do my thing and everyone can just be cool.

    There’s something so will-to-live-inducing about seeing local invertebrate fauna start to show up again.

    The little carpenter bees appearing in my backyard make me inordinately happy and I will protect them with everything I have 🐝 💚

    A little bee flew into my bike helmet and rode home with me today, it chilled in my hair until I accidentally brushed it off about 10 minutes after coming inside…while on the toilet.

    Thankfully, it wasn’t super interested in me and I was able to cup it and set it on its way outside.
