I need fast access to good tags asap. I want news, true crime, horror art, cat memes, nature biologists - animals & plants & bugs, garden stuff, cute animals, weather/meteorology, space science, archaeology...

I dunno why, but it's kinda hard to find a good tag & even harder finding good blogs. maybe I'm dumb tho.

Not a question, but I need someone buggy to appreciate this with me. I just learned about the Iridescent Leaf-beetle Jumping Spider from browsing iNat. They're so pretty...

They’re very pretty! And extremely adorable. Here’s one for everyone to admire...

do you think cicadas and wasps could be friends

Most animals have a fundamentally different experience of the world than we do, so the possibility of friendship between insects is a difficult thing to judge.

I think we can safely rule out friendship between cicadas and all the species of wasps that want to eat them. That still leaves tens of thousands of species of wasps that have no direct ecological relationship with cicadas, in what we will call the "kind of maybe plausible friendship zone". I think their friendship might go something like this:

wasp: *cleans wing with foot* cicada: wasp: *sniffs air with antenna* cicada: wasp: cicada: Å̷͉̕Å̷̳͝A̷̫̭̒Ả̷̢̺̓A̵̢͒̏A̴̛̬̿Ä̴̯A̵̰̓̆A̷͈̔ͅÄ̵̡́ͅA̷̟̬̓A̷̭̓Å̸͔ͅA̷̘̰͐A̶̦͝Ȁ̸̦̝A̸̻͆A̷̬̽͊A̸̠͊A̴̮̎A̷̗̬͒̋Ǎ̴̰̳Ǎ̶̛͇A̷̩̣͗͌A̴̮͘ͅÃ̴ͅÀ̵̫ wasp: big shake :0 !!! cicada: wasp: *checks underside of leaf for aphids* cicada: *falls off leaf*
