#flying roach

[amnhnyc]

🪳 Have you ever had a cockroach fly in your direction? While many species of cockroach possess wings as adults, few of them actually use them to fly. Learn why with Insectarium host Dr. Jessica L Ware! "Fly" even deeper into the world of the incredible cockroach in the latest episode of Insectarium!

Flight of the Tiny Darkness

The darkness

It moves, I think

For a moment, over there

Then, suddenly, elsewhere

Oh, it's gone now

Nothing to worry about

Except... it's back, again

That didn't take long

So, it'll be one of those nights

Awake and frozen

Eyes ever tracking the darkness

Moving erratically now

Far too erratically

It paces and skitters

I know what's next

I fear what's next

Compelled, the darkness stops

Turns towards me, it seems

Pauses, mercifully perhaps

So I may decide and ready myself

But I'm too slow

When darkness leaps and soars

Straight for me

At least, it seems so

I don't decide

Just act

A bit of flight

But mostly freeze

Now, I mourn consciousness

Too warm beneath a quilted prison

One of my own making

Air, humid with my wretched breaths

There will be little peace

Little rest

Little sleep

And much regret

Had to get a Very Large Roach off the ceiling in my kitchen and shrieked when it started flying.

Now, for unrelated reasons, I am writing a ballad about a Very Grand and Brave Knight, slayer of Dragons and Fearsome Beasts, who disappeared after encountering a single bug.

Never mind what kind it was, that isn't important to the plot.

TF141 bf/hubbies running towards you in the kitchen on high alert, gun in hand, cause you screamed bloody murder.

"Where's the enemy!?"

"There! Over there!" You said in a panic, pointing at the counter where a cockroach is, wiggling its antennae.

Huzzah, Uzi as a Rodriguez Flying Fox bat, because I can. Tried texturing, but it might be difficult to notice.

Cod characters as bugs

Price: Tawny mining bee

Ghost: Antlion aka doodlebug

Gaz: Pillbug aka roly-polie

Soap: Caddisflies

Roach: Spotted lanternfly

Rudy: Venezuelan Poodle Moth

Alejandro: Spanish fly

Shadow company: Bullet Ants

Graves: Queen of the bullet ants

For people who don't like bugs ones that are 'safe' to look up online and aren't horrifying are the Vanezulean Poodle Moth (they're cute), the Spotted lanternfly and the Spanish fly and the bee aswell. None of them are too bad so you should be okay but still be ready to see bug pictures if you look them up. (I couldn't do spiders they freak me the fuck out)

Also, @laswells-ashtray, was gonna drop this in your asks but didn't want to retype the whole thing, thoughts on the bugs?

[ambeauty]

Rachel this is so serious 😭

[ph-cutie]

klaasje: moth (thinking white plume moth) or some kind of lacewing (such as leucochrysa americana) joyce: some sort of dragonfly/damselfly because of the water association and dark green coat titus: i cant explain this one but i see him as a termite cunos: fruit flies

I will say one thing about living south of the mason-dixon line, you get really good at identifying different species of cockroach.

accidentally spent 3 hours browsing r/spiders and while they are beautiful and i love nature i feel like living in the US has destroyed my desensitization to big bugs and it's going to be pretty fucking challenging when i go back to mexico asdjklfs how easily we get used to first world luxury........

headcanon: haruka is mildly afraid of flying bugs but it's okay because his husband, rin, was raised in the land down under and trained to take down ginormous spiders, fight off kangaroos in the backyard and grab magpies by the neck in an attack.

haruka faces a flying cockroach with a can of pesticide but rin gives it the death glare and tries to crush it with his hands.
