Dragonflies & Mantises are cool as hell. Among the cutest bugs IMO is the Pellucid Hawk Moth

Funnily enough we get Hummingbird Hawk Moths around here, which are probably actually just birds if you think about it

Dragonflies, while not true bugs, are super cool. I'm a fan of any predator that biologically perfected their anatomy to be hunters millions of years ago and never had to change much. Crocs and sharks too.

Can't bring them up without mentioning the statistic: Dragonflies are the most successful hunters on the planet, catching 95% of the prey they try to take.

woah.... gorgest
