I wonder what makes most people consider insects so horrible looking while animals are ok.
for me it's the weird wire feat and the twitchy movement
Spiders are better.
We are instinctually afraid of things that scuttle close to the ground.
They're really fast and can get in your eyes, mouth and ears.
Because most large animals follow the same lineage stemming from a few very small creatures that existed early on. Even with all the evolutionary splits, we still resemble eachother in certain ways like having usually four limbs, eyes/mouth in the same general region. This is why it's possible to empathise with other animals - also, empathy is very important for carnivores as its a skill they use to judge the strength of prey.
Insects are massively far removed from that "tree" and so they are both alive but don't resemble us, meaning 99% of time they represent a threat in our ape brains. When you consider they also appear around filth, disease, death and are sometimes poisonous or can swarm us, we are trained to not like them.
Oh and going back to the Empathy part - we are not very good at being able to read the emotions or actions of insects which means they are scary, since we are instinctively averse to the unknown.
The slightest twitch of the face in even something like a Seal or a Bird will give us a clue of what they're thinking, we can't do this with insects, they are impossible to read most of the time.
>insects
>emotions
Now now...
They wouldn't be as creepy if they were bigger, maybe dog sized.
>the emotions of insects
An emotion is just a logical reaction to something packaged as instincts. Any living creature with more than one binary state could have emotions, depending on your perspective. Regardless, whatever insects do to telegraph their behaviour is invisible to us.
The point is if we can't read emotion on another living thing then it's fucking spooky.
I'm sure a dog-sized hornet going ZZZZZ is a good idea.
That would be more frightening than creepy, like confronting a bear.
i have to agree, that's why i hate animals with pure black eyes because i can't read or know where they are looking and it creeps me out
They're tiny organic robots without emotion, making them hard to empathize with. They show up in your house when you spill something, associating them with filth. They disappear easily, making us paranoid. They look completely alien.
That said, I think snakes are cute and the same could be said for them
>snakes are cute
a...user... I ....
I prefer black eyes to cattle eyes.
How's about Queen Deava from El-Hazard? She was a nice looking insect.
Wolves are Snakes are the big "fuck no" creatures, we instinctively hate them. They're very traditional, old-world threats which is why all the biblical stories and fairytales have wolves and snakes as villains in them.
If it weren't for dogs we'd probably hate anything canid, and in cultures where stray dogs are just Rabies vectors they basically do.
Emotion doesn't just mean happy or sad. There's also pain too. Rip off a leg off a dog and tell me what kind of face it makes. Try doing that to an insect... well
>we are not very good at being able to read the emotions or actions of insects
But we can read sometime right?
Fuck spiders. Not even memeing but I woke up yesterday with a spider on the roof, I observed it slowly crawling, when it was above my bed it lost it's grip and I had to roll off the bed and start dancing around to get it off me.
I fucking hate this type of eyes, goat eyes etc
Spiders a cute! A CUTE!
I actually like spiders because they eat the filthy ones, just like geckos. I never kill them and always tell people to let them be.
We only fear snakes because they attack if you step or lie down on them. They'll rarely cause problems outside of that. We don't sleep on the ground anymore either, so you wont find a snake in your bed unless you live in a sty.
Can insects be pets? I think I tamed a fly once.
When I was a kid there was this fly skirting round in my house and it dove right into my drink. I pulled it out when was drowning and instead of flying off it stayed patiently in my hand for 5-10 minutes and didn't go anywhere. I tried showing my mom but she screamed and immediately killed it right on my hand.
I still think about what could have been.
>Anime takes place during the summer
>Background noise is Cicadas
You posted the wrong Snake. Fat meat sacks hanging from the chest are not cute.
stealth /d/ thread?
why not? boobs are a biological imperative
I never saw this show, so is jashin a snake or not?
I would a Mothra.
That was your one Chance to have Beelzebub owe you one
patrician taste
Boobs only need to be small and cute. Size is for show and useless for snakes.
areyousureaboutthat.gif
Pokemon really changed my views on insects. Very cute.
Did you guys see that edgy island of giant insects is getting an adaptation?
That shit would sound like a dirt bike, we’d be fucking toast
The robotic movement. It just doesn't look normal.
>most large animals
Tetrapods.
Cicadas for me.
You'll make Chiyo-nee sad.
Moths are alright.
a real bro
Same issue as snek.
What is it doing
Australia?
Bugs are great. Aunts are shit.
being cute
probably being not-happy with the camera man
doing the fappy thing for reg
Anyone else think this is really erotic with it's wings gently flapping and it's fuzzy thorax and abdomen slowly throbbing like that.
God, that ear-cleaning scene had me fucking diamonds.
dumping
Oh my god
uh bros.. dont remind OP of that manga with the raping insects...
stop right now Mothra is not for lewd
I meant, I thought it was making silk or something. There is something going with that bug, but maybe it's just angry/scared.
Why does it look like a spider?
Did a butterfly and tarantula have sex and crossbred the moth species? holy shit.
Which one?
Is a lobster an insect?
I'm sold. What anime is this?
that's no bug
you're right, but this thread is not about bugs, it's about insects.
t. spider
is there a difference?
genuinely speaking
yea i live in australia
The only thing truly ironic about this is how people fear dogs, scavengers, over cats, which are much more intensely predatorial even in domestic form
I would say it's the toxoplasma effect but even people who've never had cats are more prone to admiring large felines than fearing them
What about honeybees and ladybugs? People like them.
that large breed has a very nice butt, she would be my pick
Insects have no emotions. They literally are a biological version of automatons
Well, cicadas for one tend to look pretty gnarly.
last one
>We only fear snakes because they attack if you step or lie down on them.
Now you'll have to fight Gyiyg without his help.
Insects can't fly when their wings are wet. They're too heavy.
Bees are cute.
found a weird insect
IA IA SHUB NIGGURATH FHTAGN
The only ‘good bug’ is a dead bug.
It is a prey animal eye that needs to scan the horizon. they even rotate in the socket as they lower their head in order to keep scanning the horizon. going the other direction like eyes of small cats means they are a low to the ground ambush predator
>bugs are not insects
God help you.
>I would say it's the toxoplasma effect
?
They can solve that problem by flapping them.
>read sensory antennae as sexy antennae the first time
>it doesn't actually say that
Judging by those antenna, it's probably a male. So you might just be gay for a moth.
Would you a Battra?
What were they thinking?
a cute big boy
This thread is full of gentleman with superb taste.
>This thread is full of degenerates with shit taste.
ftfy
Only since you showed up.
A parasite people get from cats that affects mental behavior. It forms cysts in the brain and can cause all manner of problems, but most people never show symptoms except some mild behavior changes. "Cat ladies" tend to get it pretty hard and eventually go crazy.
mayoclinic.org
I will never pet a cat in my life ever again.
Jumping spiders are the obvious exception. They're adorable, and they're bros.
That's a fig bucking leech.
This one? npr.org
God I love that story.
WHO /MOTHS/ HERE?
Spider-fuckers can go fuck themselves.
There are so many things wrong with this image.
Personally more of a /MOTHRA/ Than a /MOTH/, but whatever.
what
That's a nice story.
Anyone remember Mushi-uta?
The series, novel and anime, was too advanced for its time.
Also, good ED song.

I got banned for translating MOTHS
Yea Forums's new mods are shit
4channel was a mistake

Shame
What the fuck is MOTHS user?
Are you blind or just retarded?
based and jumping spider pilled
for me, its how easily one of their legs or other body parts could get ripped off. they seem so squishy and fragile, thats the most disgusting part about them.
Lack of tits probably.

Somebody post that one-shot of the fly who wants to smell the dog's dick.

"bugs" is actually the technical term for a very small subset of insects, although you'd need to be either a literal entomologist or a huge pedantic dickweed to seriously care
That's a lot they pump into her. Like it looks like way too much.
Yeah, it's a sort of square and rectangle type of situation right?
Because insects are scary. Really scary. We all have primordial memories from a time long before conscious thought, hard-wired into the earliest ancestors of all mammals during their evolution, death by death by death by death by death. Insects were huge back then, the one in the pic is by far not the biggest. Quick, fully armoured, equipped with bladed claws, wings, poison stings, acid spit, name it. Alien. A wildlife that makes Australia look very safe in comparison. The only reason why they are so small and harmless now is the comparably low oxygen content in the atmosphere. The respiratory system of insects is largely passive, can't adapt to lowering atmospheric oxygen ratios as quickly and easily as ours.
In us is the essence of the survivors in the struggle against the insects. Of those who got away alive. That's all. We never defeated them. Climate change brought them down, made them weak enough for us to have a chance.
My Ancestor...
There's nothing wrong with feeding wild pigeons.
I've eaten crickets and those scorpions on lollipops. The crickets tasted like nuts while the scorpion reminded me of popcorn.
All in all, the insects I've eaten were quite tasty. I would eat a roach if it was raised on grains and cooked well.
whats that thing he removes? some sort of bee hymen?
Isn't she an arachnid? Then, howcome she has centipede like tail? Makes no sense.
They're not wild pigeons, they're feral domesticated rock doves. About as wild as a pack of feral dogs.
They're plague bearers, like rats, and they are everywhere. Feeding them is illegal in most big cities, not that anyone with an IQ above 80 and a shred of common sense would do it even if it were legal. Feeding the city pigeons is a good way to out yourself as either mentally ill or a tourist/immigrant from hick town.
Insects are nice
Those are some handsome pigeons.
Is that supposed to be some kind of ritual site?
How do they poop?
She's literally made of multiple different insects.
>low oxygen
We still need to kill more trees.
A lot of things.
Insects in general are usually pests, and typically interaction is weird and uncomfortable most the time, just weird hard scratchy things getting lost somewhere on your person. And in a few rare cases they're poisonous.
I had a milipede crawl up my leg once and now I freak out every time I feel an tickle on my leg.
Animals are more contextual, but usually mammals are either your pets or vermin. Reptiles are danger.
I assume it's just pumping blood into its massive wings to warm up in the morning.
oldfag here, anyone here remember this shit? was some of the first hentai I jerked off to when I was younger. was never able to finish them all because I'd usually bust after the first few scenes.
this is a lot more violent than I expected
Arachnids are based, though.
Socialization. If people would show a movie or two about snakes to a kid he or she won't think it's an abomination from Hell. But they are too busy phone zombieing to do anything helpful. It's funny because an unsocialized dog snarling on unfamiliar stuff like people in hats or god forbid blacks is still considered rude but somehow it's totally fine with human children and lesser animals.
What about this one?
Cuttlefish is cute. Cute
Lol no.
No amount of socialisation can prevent your fight/flight system from taking control in a situation like in the video.

I know I would shoot that thing without hesitation, long before my frontal lobe gets the memo and replies that actual spiders can't grow that big anymore.
Holy shit
The sexy JK wasps from this series.
>When Jane Goodall visited in 2008, Patrick showed her rows and rows of incubating eggs: 11,376 at that time, with about 700 adults in the captive population. Lord Howe Island walking sticks seem to pair off — an unusual insect behavior — and Goodall says Patrick "showed me photos of how they sleep at night, in pairs, the male with three of his legs protectively over the female beside him."
Cute
This is way too lewd.
to be honest I wouldn't mind a 900 lbs dog, as much as I love cats I know how absolutely fucking wired they can get suddenly and with no warning at all. I prefer just getting little scratches or bites rather than being disemboweled. Never had a dog I wasn't able to read or predict. No idea how people unironically live with big cats like tigers without being in a constant panic.
You did this.
youtube.com
What would they do if someone decided on fight instead in that split second? Like that guy who popped out of the trash can wearing a scary mask and immediately got decked by that black guy. Poor dog would have been hurt...
>that picture about spiders
Pretty much every tarantula video ever.
ungulates I can understand but how the fuck does that shit even work?
Entoma's 'cute' features (face, hair and voice) are all other insects that have a symbiotic relationship to her.
