what is the WORST animal?
>>
Tough choice between tick and horsefly. Both deserve to get buttfucked by rhinoceros and engulfed alive in fire
>>
tick
>>
I hate mosquitoes because my skin reacts badly to the bites, but I'm going with ticks.
>>
>>5158601
Mosquitoes cause me to panic if there are a bunch of them biting me, which there are at my parents house. Thankfully they're Aedes (anklebiter) mosquitoes so they wont bother me much if I wear long pants.
>>
Humans? Think about it destroying multiple habitats because pointless wars
>>
>>5158617
Humans are peak evolution bro.
No other animal in life's 4 billion year history has left the atmosphere and stepped on other worlds.
We are literal gods compared to animals.
>>
>>5158585
I have a cockroach event in my apartment at the moment. They're horrible but I'm starting to understand their plight
>>
>>5158585
Pigeons. I left for a few days and my bedroom balcony was absolutely CAKED in shit. Not just a few spots, it looked like a rug on the tiles
>>
>>5158630
I left my window open once and the fuckers made their short bus nest on my closet, birdshit included

Shitty pigeon nests are hilarious

Counter point we're the only animal who needs to wipe their ass
>>
>>5158646
nah bro we invented bidets
>>
>>5158646
We're the only animals with health and cleanliness standards. Other animals are happy wallowing in their own shit.

Mosquitoes. But aside from the obvious, probably botflies. My skin crawls just thinking about them. They burrow into skin. It is disgusting.
>>
Hornets and wasps
>>
>>5158585
prolly ur mum m8

>dood we're no better than the mammals who rarely live past 30
>>
>>5158656
And they're far more resistant to diseases because of it. Humans need to manufacture drugs from plants and other animals just to survive a common cold.
>>
>>5158689
Cool it with the antisemitic remarks.
>>
>>5158797
yeah but humans can also manufacture airplanes and command electricity
>>
>>5158797
Inoculation makes us immune to the most brutal mammalian diseases
>>
>>5158585
Any type of blood sucking parasite deserves extinction. Mosquitoes, ticks, bed bugs, bat bugs. I'm dealing with these little fuckers because I have bats in my attic. Flies are fucking disgusting, but at least they serve a purpose. I still hate having even one in my house. They disgust me. Termites, just because of the damage they can do. Roaches, but again they also serve a purpose
>>
>>5158617
I'll never understand human that hate humanity. I love us and want to see us spread to every corner of the galaxy
>>
I HATE HATE HATEEE mosquitoes. Every time I go out side I get bit by like so much of them and I don’t even notice until I go home. It gets so itchy and SO RED RAHH its soo annoying brah.. >:7
>>
>>5158585
Human because we're the only ones able to conceptualize morality
>>
ticks and mosquitoes are tied for #1 worst fucking faggot ass useless ass creature.
>>
>>5158646
you are maybe
i just let it crust

Ok, but now imagine "us" being Indians who pollute every place they go with plastic garbage
>>
>>5158585
bedbugs
>>
>>5158585
>greenbottles the worst animal
this is bluebottle propaganda
>>
Ticks are a good choice. I fucking hate them. I also hate chiggers. I've had my hate of both and I honestly can't say which one I think is worse.
>>
>>5158585
Ducks are pretty evil
>>
>>5158617
Your reddit gold, sir.

>>5158646
I know man I've seen a couple of documentaries on TV about bears that are really particular about that
>>
>>5159385
I dno*
>>
>>5159385
It's because they're digging at a 20 foot tape worm
>>
>>5159393
Now imagine how big sauropod tapeworms could get
>>
Everyone ITT calling out ticks and skeeters but are completely ignoring the existence of the far more sinister bed bug
>>
>>5159477
>See one
>House ruined
>>
>tfw a lifetime of drug and alcohol abuse has left me with blood so toxic to life that I can fall asleep in a swamp without a leach or mosquito getting a free meal
>>
>>5159495
I used to have bed bugs. They only lasted two-three months though. They all just completely vanished for no reason, I only found dead ones ever since.
>>
>>5159499
Lucky you. My brother had them and had to move.
>>
>>5159499
Could've been bat bugs. They look almost exactly like bed bugs. Only difference is they have longer body hairs and feed on bats. If the bats leave they die because they need bat blood to reproduce. Although they could feed on humans if they're starving. I had bats in the attic so I saw these guys every once in awhile. They were usually disorientated, slow, and almost dead when I saw them. The only way to tell the difference from bed bugs is to look under a microscope for the longer body hairs
>>
>>5159477
How do you even get bed bugs?
The only time I ever heard of them near me was at a nearby movie theater where they pretty much had to go out of business because of them. It was frequented by black people so I assume one of them brought in the initial infestation.

>>5159566
Hotels, buying used furniture, and living in apartments mainly.

In Scotland, we have to deal with insects called midges. They are similar to mosquitoes but form much larger swarms and simply just gnaw on your flesh as opposed to using a proboscis.
They leave spots the same as mosquitos, although I personally think they are more itchy.
They come out when its the weather is still and overcast, and find animals to parasitise by sensing their CO2 production.
It's quite easy to start freaking out if you're camping or hiking or whatever and a massive cloud of these things find you. There's nothing you can do if you dont have adequate clothing and netting, as they will be absolutely everywhere.
>>
>>5158585
wasps
I still have trauma from accidentally running into a nest in the trees when I was young and getting stung by multiple of them
>>
>>5158832
redditors are not humans
>>
>>5159276
what did ducks ever do to you
>>
>>5158585
Mosquitos are infinitely worse than those beautiful poop eaters.
>>
>>5159650
wasps are only bad if youre completely braindead fucking retarded
>>
>>5159640
We have midgets over here too but they can't fly and are typically trained enough to not bite people.
>>
>>5159653
One of them raped my mom.
>>
>>5159385
Commercials ain’t documentaries.
>>
>>5158585
Love mosquitoes as they reclaim energy from human society and feed it back into nature again as insect meat
>>
Humans, no contest. They are completely incapable of surviving on their own, and are destroying their own habitats out of greed and gluttony.
>>

When I was in 3rd grade, I was in the Bee Squad. Me and two other kids would walk around during recess stomping on bees (actually wasps) as a kind of service to the school. Somehow we never got stung, I got around 40 and another kid got over 60 before our teacher caught wind and made us stop. Also, while they don't pose a threat to humans, parasitic wasps are the stuff of nightmares.
>>
>>5160894
The fact that the majority of children in America probably think this way disgusts me
>>
>>5158646
I have a 100% perfect poop rate unless i eat too much vegeterian slop or drink alcohol.

Your stool is not supposed to be mushy and smeary. Its supposed to be a solid, wrinkly log that plops out of your ass without leaving a mark.

Youre either overeating, eating too much vegetable slop or drinking if you frequently need to wipe.

Humans are actually some of cleanest shitters if the diet is right.

Dumb thirdie

Amoebas, fuck amoebas, I hate those lil niggas
>>
>>5161254
I'm disgusted at the parents for not teaching them, not the kids for being stupid. I'm whiter than you btw
>>
>>5158585
The things people call mosquito "larvae" are actually freshwater crustaceans called "Potamon branchiopodum" btw. Real mosquitos reproduce by laying eggs into the deeper layers of human skin, and adult mosquitos emerge from the skin on the second day, usually when the infectee is sleeping.*

mosquito is worse than any other

For thise that hate mosquitoes- theyre a major part of a hummingbird's diet. Hang up a few feeders and they'll drastically reduce the local population.

humans are the objectively correct choice

Did you think of that one yourself, or copy literally everyone else who responds with the exact same scripted answer?

this dude doesn't wipe

Personally I'm bothered most by the common housefly even though I understand there is greater pests. They flat out refuse to be guided out the windows so I whip out the bug-a-salt. I'm usually critter friendly though.
