I like bees. They're the only insects I feel sympathy for.
>>
Why? Ants, beetles and moths are cool too.

We all love bees
We all appreciate bees
Thanks for your hard work, fellas

They're not bugs because they're not in the order hemiptera, they're in hymenoptera. They are in the class insecta. You got it backwards.
>>
>>4935098
They look too much like cockroaches, specifically the oriental ones. But at least they know to only chill outside in gardens and stuff instead of invading human kitchens and bathrooms.

>instead of invading human kitchens and bathrooms
you couldnt be more wrong. If I open a window at night during summer, 14787111844212 brown beetles enter my house instantly
>>
>>4935085
I mean ants are brainless retards by themselves, but as an entire colony they are a force to be reckoned with. Plus they're cool. I like their whole group thing.
Beetles aren't ugly. That is a horrible take.
Ok maybe moths are stupid but they're cute and beautiful. Low intelligence doesn't mean you should hate them.
>>
>>4935051
Bees are insects. Bugs are of the order Hemiptera, which themselves are insects.

Hemiptera are "True Bugs". The colloquial term "bug" does not refer to anything specific, and is more of a feeling than a classification.

Wasps are the rural tomboys of the insect world.

Do you make an effort to attract bees?
Last year the hairy-footed flower bee finally moved into the bowl of dirt I had prepared for her but there was still no sign of carpender bees despite all the dead wood I collected. I guess I need more summer flowers.

Might as well contribute. When I was a kid I thought these were male bees.

>>4935361
This one's a really good pick. Most bees are vegans, but this one returned to its roots as a parasite.
