Random Bugs and Arachnids appreciation!

Despite how much negative press they tend to get, these critters deserve some LOVE!! Post your favs!!!!
Here are mine!
1: Solifugae (Camel Spider)

Despite it's alien-esque look, the camel spider is ultimately a harmless critter! They are closely related to spiders, as the name suggests, though they're not actually spiders themselves. It's intimidating jaws are actually not all that dangerous, and aren't generally known to be capable to bite through our skin, and for the most part they just like sitting in the shade.

2: Dung Beetle

Look at him!!! Need I say more?!?!!

These are just two that come to mind, but I could talk about all kinds of bugs for hours!!! I can't wait to see what ya'll come up with!

I always liked the humble harvester ant. It was and still is fun to put stuff on their mound and see what they do with it. They don't like steamed broccoli. I watched them cut it up and haul it away from their mound. Mild tempered too. I can't recall being stung by one.

I normally *HATE* spiders with a passion, but even I like Jumping Spiders. They're cute little fuzzballs and not scary in the slightest even for an arachnophobe.
