lol
Has anyone ever heard of Jewel Wasps? They're really pretty. They're really cool because they have this like really hard body shell that protects them from stings from other bees and wasp, and they're like a really pretty metallic blue or green.
I think ants are the worst. They're also the most interesting, but there are some species in some rainforests that can take out anything. Oh, and bullet ants have the worst sting.
I remember when I was in undergrad, I went to Kansas State for a summmer vet program and I saw a Ichneumon wasp. Very weird. From what I've read about them, they're really good at getting rid of a lot of insects we call pests.
What about prehistoric bugs? Does anyone get into those? That's another passion of mine are prehistoric bugs.
