Please do me this favor. I'll even settle for something cute that's bug adjacent, like a shrimp or even a crab.

There are more lizard pollinators in the world than we tend to think but my favourites are day geckos in Mauritius.

This little baby is a Lord Howe Rock Lobster and was thought to be extinct until found on a sea rock a few years ago. Now there are hundreds of thousands of them.

I demand my Pokemon Snap points.

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Oh! That's a caterpillar! It's eating a flower, what a cute pose! It's large and in frame! Wonderful!

Uhhh I forgot what a good score in Pokemon Snap is so I'll just give you 1000 points and assume that's a a lot.

I hope a mollusc is ok. This guy is probably one of the cutest things ever:

Jorunna parva, commonly known as the sea bunny, is a species of dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Discodorididae.

This site is cringe, but the bug pictures are nice. https://www.boredpanda.com/cute-bugs/

It was also one of the few results for ”cute bug” that was on the front page and not AI slop.
