Outside, against the wall, alone. At least that’s where I sat in high school. So, maybe with the wasps?
Statistically, probably with the beetles. 🪲

I have a decent relationship with mantids already. I’d sit with them.

Moths every time. It’s not even close.

I will sit under the lightbulb and wait for the moths to join me.

The moths. Most likely not to eat me.

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.

Moths!
Or maybe bees. I have always wanted to hug a bumblebee.

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

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, …

I’d be at the oddball table with the roly poly, millipede & dragonfly…

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

At one of those empty tables

As far away from the moths as possible. Too chaotic and irrational for me.

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

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

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…
phaedrus@piefed.world 11 hours 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…)
troyunrau@lemmy.ca 1 hour ago
I actually only read the first four. Felt like a natural stopping point there. Pretty cool series though :)
Celestial6370@programming.dev 10 hours 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!
Thorry@feddit.org 9 hours ago
Adrian Tchaikovsky also has the Children of Time series in which spiders are the main characters. A very fun read!

Unless you are a piece of shit, because then the beetles will ragdoll roll you around until you are a nice sphere of shit.

The moths table for the vibes, but the seat closest to the spiders to get in on their jokes.

I would definitely want to be friends with the mantises in case they go postal one day
stephen01king@piefed.zip 7 hours ago
Mantises even eat their own partners. How safe do you think being friends with them will be?

Listen, nobody knows what happened to Stacey’s boyfriend’s head, it’s just an unsolved mystery, ok!!

Lol. We run on opposite wavelengths. If the mantises go postal I want to be as far away as possible.
