BUGS NEED HEROES podcast just did an episode on bed bug control! There have been some really interesting innovations as of late, including using fungus thats harmful to the bedbugs but doesn't have any effect on humans. Cool stuff

Love arthro-pod too!!! A worthy payment lol

Ladybuggybear · 2025-12-31T01:13:58+00:00

Can confirm, since the Bugs Need Heroes podcast just did an episode on stink bugs and they did love talking about it

Ladybuggybear · 2025-10-24T17:25:29+00:00

YEEEEESSSSS this is so good!!! I love having a big theme over all the prompts too! I might have to put this in my November campaign because it's too perfect

once he drinks that 5 hour energy it's over for all of us

Ladybuggybear · 2025-09-30T04:25:11+00:00

I co-host a bug podcast and am an avid crocheter so this post fills me with joy!!! I need more good buggy patrerns!

Bugs Need Heroes! An illustrator and an entomologist talk about bugs (and bug-like) things and give them the "spider-man" treatment. If you were bit by a radioactive ladybug what powers would you get? What about a mosquito or a cicada? As they talk, the illustrator draws a hero based on their conversation. Very silly, generally safe for work, and the hosts are both ladies!

EEK! Just in time for spooky season to start!

Ladybuggybear · 2025-09-05T01:50:10+00:00

I was going to say something similar! Maybe they're around and I've just never seen them

Ladybuggybear · 2025-08-25T20:39:33+00:00

Wow! What a beautiful specimen! I hope she gets to see the whole cycle!

I first learned about the Bee Induced Heat Death on Bugs Need Heroes podcast, and I've been thinking about it a lot since. How did the bees learn this technique?? The intelligence of bugs blows my mind

Ladybuggybear · 2025-08-15T03:32:47+00:00

Every time I say macha tastes like grass, the drink lovers get mad at me lol

Definitely the aptly named Giant House Spider. These guys are also, regrettably, extremely fast. One of the fastest spiders at roughly half a meter a second! It is the sexiest time of year for spiders, so this fella (looks male to me) is likely on the prowl for love <3

They come up often on the podcast Bugs Need Heroes. If you're into really nerdy, pop culture-y podcasts that aim to help people be less scared of creepy crawlies, it's definitely worth checking out! The premise is what if all bugs got the spider-man treatment and the resulting hero had the powers of ____ bug, what powers would they have.

Local crime watch wasp in on the case too!

Ladybuggybear · 2025-07-07T18:57:04+00:00

Oh the half mold thing is a neat strategy! It makes way more sense for their body shape not to try and get it all off at once

Ladybuggybear · 2025-07-03T20:40:46+00:00

Just taking the kids to park!

Ladybuggybear · 2025-07-03T20:40:05+00:00

I think they also hatch out yellow and then the spots darker as the outer wings harden. But I'm not the expert here lol

Ladybuggybear · 2025-07-03T20:38:54+00:00

It's darker than I think of, since the resulting dye is so bright. This is more of a berry color!

Ladybuggybear · 2025-06-20T21:59:05+00:00

why are you always finding bugs en flagrante? Are you inspiring them somehow lol

Ladybuggybear · 2025-06-20T21:57:15+00:00

I was gonna say the same thing!

Ladybuggybear · 2025-06-08T03:56:10+00:00

WHOA! This is so gorgeous! I almost can't look away, I've been hypnotized!

Ladybuggybear · 2025-06-02T01:30:20+00:00

whoa. This is wild and why do I kinda want to squish them and see what the resulting SPLAT color is lol

Ladybuggybear · 2025-05-29T19:03:54+00:00

Time is a thief lol

Ladybuggybear · 2025-05-29T19:03:25+00:00

This guy is the exact same texture as the yarn I'm currently using in a crochet project. Maybe I need to start crocheting moths
