Moths!
Or maybe bees. I have always wanted to hug a bumblebee.
Statistically, probably with the beetles. 🪲

Bees 100%

Now it’s just me, and the bees

Microw@piefed.zip 2 weeks ago
For one, because they’re bees. Also, because they’re the most distance from the spiders (I have a phobia lol)
ScrambledEggs@lazysoci.al 2 weeks ago
Moths. AKA goth butterflies.
dukeofdummies@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Not only that, the only thing that makes them spooky and startling is that they randomly fly around like a dumbass towards anything light related.
When they’re just sitting still being chill they’re actually quite adorable.
ICastFist@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
You mean glam butterflies
flango@lemmy.eco.br 2 weeks ago
Actually butterflies are moths

…Right next to the oil furnace in the basement, trying to figure out how to rig it to blow and burn the place down.

Spoken like someone who’s never had the privilege of holding a pink-toed tarantula’s paw-pad.

Maybe outside are the ants & millipedes that skip lunch bcs they are too cool for school?

Bees because bees are usually pretty chill and I like chill. Especially the bumblebees.

Tangent, there is a fun fantasy book series by Adrian Tchaikovsky where all the main characters are humanoids with bug qualities. So basically spiderman, antman, mantisman, etc. It is entertaining when you mix fantasy tropes (dueling for honour!) with mantis arm spikes…
Thorry@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Adrian Tchaikovsky also has the Children of Time series in which spiders are the main characters. A very fun read!
phaedrus@piefed.world 2 weeks ago
The Insect-kindens! And it is quite a lengthy series, at that, if anyone is looking for something new to get into (not to mention he actually finishes series, unlike another fantasy writer…)
Celestial6370@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
My first thought was Patrick Rothfuss but I think you are referring to Martin. I’m sure the list is long of unfinished fantasy series, whichever book you are waiting for I hope your year is 2026!
troyunrau@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
I actually only read the first four. Felt like a natural stopping point there. Pretty cool series though :)
Diddlydee@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
Moths every time. It’s not even close.

At one of the tables without giant bugs occupying all the seats
Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
At one of those empty tables
skooma_king@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Mantises. Fuck aphids
fascicle@leminal.space 2 weeks ago
I would definitely want to be friends with the mantises in case they go postal one day
SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
They definitely look the most stylish
stephen01king@piefed.zip 2 weeks ago
Mantises even eat their own partners. How safe do you think being friends with them will be?
Evil_Shrubbery@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Listen, nobody knows what happened to Stacey’s boyfriend’s head, it’s just an unsolved mystery, ok!!
MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 2 weeks ago
Lol. We run on opposite wavelengths. If the mantises go postal I want to be as far away as possible.
Saryn@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Everyone knows that anyone who knows anything about anything would go for the most evolutionary diverse group - spiders.
There is nothing these little guys can’t do. Fly over hundreds of kilometres? You got it. Extend their nervous systems several thousand times past their body area using web? Check. Biological hydraulic system? Yup. Jump 10 to 50 times their body lenght? No problem. Live underwater using silk made diving suit? You bet your sweet behind. Paralyze your body after one bite? Easy.
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
None of this makes me want to share a table with them.
thelsim@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I wouldn’t dare to sit here as a human. I’m too big and would probably squish them all by accident.
But if I got to choose to be one, I’d go for the spiders. You get:
- two extra legs over the rest
- your own supply of crafting materials
- lots of eyes
- and a cozy place to relax in
mech@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
At a table by myself, with everyone making fun of my laughably low number of legs
Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
I have a decent relationship with mantids already. I’d sit with them.
victorz@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Love how you snuck in the correction there. Classy 👌 Have my up vote. ❤️✌️
glibg@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
The moths table for the vibes, but the seat closest to the spiders to get in on their jokes.
Sunsofold@lemmings.world 2 weeks ago
I’m staying out. At that size, many of those are just terrifying, even if they are cool when much smaller than me.
Evil_Shrubbery@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Idk, I feel like they would group differently.
The popular high-fashion ones (mantis, jumping spider) would be at one table, goths at the other, jocks are already together (beetles), goodly two-shoes nerds (bees) also, …
QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
i think Id make a pretty moth :)
hOrni@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I will sit under the lightbulb and wait for the moths to join me.
burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
I think I’d go with the moths. Least likely to kill me.
BigBenis@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Bees. So long as I stay on their good side they’re chill and they’ll protect me from the other options that want to eat me.
unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
Unless you are a piece of shit, because then the beetles will ragdoll roll you around until you are a nice sphere of shit.

I would sit down at an empty table and it would turn out to be the Bees’
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Outside, against the wall, alone. At least that’s where I sat in high school. So, maybe with the wasps?
BurnedDonutHole@ani.social 2 weeks ago
Mantises
frizzo@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
The moths. Most likely not to eat me.
