Sometimes, I get ID requests that say "please don't tell me this is a termite/bedbug/lominsan roach (those kind infest)".

Many times it ain't what they think it is, cause most people don't know hemiptera from halyomorpha, and then I get to give them good news.

But. Just what the hells am I +

"No, it isn't, because it has weird stripes?? Don't you know anything??"

how the hells do you know enough about bugs to know what a level two larvae is but you don't know that bedbugs, which are exremely fuckin common, are fuckin arthropods and don't have larvae???

Them: So I found a bedbug larvae and I'm doing everything I possibly can to get rid of the bedbugs. (This person then goes on to explain all the rigorous ways they are workin to git rid of the bedbugs)

can yall imagine what the world would be like if planthopper nymphs did a lil butt wiggle like a cat before they jumped?

there would be no wars. the star would know true peace.

I'm plenty happy. content and such. but I very rarely feel warm where my brother ain't involved.

when people ask me for IDs an ask "Who's this in this pic?" rather than a more technical "what bug is this" it makes me feel warm. bugs can be who's instead'a what's I think.

"You're an entomologist, right?"

Yes.

"Can you ID this?"
January 7, 2025 at 6:47 PM
"Val. I'm freaking out. What is this thing??"
December 29, 2024 at 11:19 PM
"Val I'm stumped! What is this beetle?"

Oh my GODS. holy shit. I can't believe my eyes.

it's a carpet beetle. a real, actual carpet beetle and not just the larvae. I only been asked a single time to ID the adult beetle. wow.
December 28, 2024 at 9:48 PM

"Val, is this scorpion venemous?"

if the picture you sent me was a scorpion I'd say yes, cause they're ALL venomous.

but you sent me a pseudoscorpion. so I don't really know how to answer yer question.

December 25, 2024 at 3:42 AM
I was fightin my brother on is shrimps bugs. I was gonna start tellin people they're technically scorpions cause I thought they had 8 legs and they got claws.

they got ten legs. which goes to show I ain't know shit about ocean creatures, as fond of em as I am.

I should marry a marine biologist.
