I'd be a moth, the light fluffy ones

spoilerHOLY SHIT THERE'S PINK MOTHS?

[–] Binette@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago

Yes! That's the rosy maple moth!

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago

Praying Mantis because I love mantis style kung fu.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 13 points 4 months ago

Black widow spider. I like the tall, scary types.

Or cicada. Nap for 17 years before screaming and getting some and immediately dying. Seems chill.

[–] Binette@lemmy.ml 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

If spiders count, tarantula or jumping spider. I wanna be fluffy

Else, a rosy maple moth.

Edit: here are some images for each

Beautiful aubrey-happy

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago

An ant or a bee would be cool. Just you and hundreds/thousands of your homies chilling, working together, doing colony insect stuff.

[–] EpicKebabEater@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago

Rhino beetles are so cool, imagine having a huge horn.

Big bug

[–] LemonGrease@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Euphoria inda (bumble flower beetle, brown fruit chafer)

[–] someone@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

A ladybug.

[–] FactuallyUnscrupulou@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

Dragonfly, I would eat so many mosquitoes.

[–] LanyrdSkynrd@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

Dobson fly because you get to be a creepy looking hellgrammite and a big beautiful quad-winged fly.

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago

Being an earthworm would be chill I think. Just burrowing all day and hanging out in the cool dark

[–] Vampire@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago

Logic bomb

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

Horse fly

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

A tick. I will infect you all with Lyme disease party-sicko

Use after free

An ant would be pretty cool

Mayfly

Take me, sweet death

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

Bret Stephens.

[–] Speaker@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

Adam Friedland first choice, then one of those ladybugs that's black with red dots instead of red with black dots.

[–] thisismyrealname@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

whatever type of beetles are on my bean plants, those motherfuckers are eating good rn

[–] glans@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago

i'd be an earwig

i hate earwigs and so does everyone else

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm an angry bee

I hate everyone I see

I've got the

Gift of the sting

But I can only use it once

Which strikes me as unfair

Because the world is full of c*nts

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago

Become wasp they can use it lots

[–] gay_king_prince_charles@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago

Monarch butterfly because going to Canada and Mexico every year seems cool
