Anonymous asked: Hey! I heard about this blog from a friend of mine and I think its totally cool! I didn't think a clogging site would have something that interests me, haha.

Do you know what a good habitat setup for them would be?

Work Bug!
“Found this guy at work… yesterday. I never did get a good look at them, just this not-so-great photo on my phone. Are they a beetle?

A Change in Perspective
“I have been terrified of bugs for a long time. It’s been a little difficult to deal with. Though I’ve always been fascinated by how they work. Everything about them, especially colonized bugs, like ants or wasps. Recently, I’ve been a lot more comfortable with them, being around them and even being in physical contact with them in some cases. Still having trouble with...

Another Guest bug!
“Found this little guy wandering on the porch and he’s so generic that I can’t figure out what he is. He’s some kind of sphinx moth for sure, but I can’t find any pictures of this instar. If it helps I’m located in Missouri, and I’d really like to find some food for him.”  Oh geez, Idiggiantorbots I can try but I’m sure you searched bugguide...

paratoxodera asked: Do you keep any bugs as pets? Have you ever raised mantids? I highly recommend it if you haven't. Well, even if you have.

whiterabbitseeker-deactivated20 asked: Hey, I live in the Kansas mid-west region, and I saw a dragonfly with black and white striped wings. I love black and white stripes and I find this particular bug beautiful!! I mean gorgeous! So my questions: What is this kind of dragon fly called? What makes them produce black and white strips? What do they eat? And, can you make pets out of them?
