Humans tend to fall into one of two camps when it comes to bugs: Team "Aww, how fascinating!" or Team "Burn it with fire!". There's rarely a middle ground when six legs and wings are involved. The gentle flutter of a butterfly might fill some hearts with wonder, while others sprint in the opposite direction at the sight of a moth. Now that the chill of winter is no longer here and we have only warm days, bug season is officially here - and with it, a full spectrum of reactions. Whether the thought of cicadas makes someone giddy or queasy, one thing is certain: the bugs are back in town.

    Self-described "animal lovers" when they see an invertebrate

  • Of course, not all insects are out to spook or sting. Many play vital roles in the ecosystem - pollinating, breaking things down, and keeping the food web buzzing. Sure, they’re tiny, but their impact is massive. And while their size makes them easy to overlook (or swat), let’s not forget that nature’s most impressive work sometimes comes in the smallest packages. Still, no judgment if someone sees a wasp and immediately flees the scene. That's just self-preservation.
