hey guys look what i found yesterday i think its a red headed cardinal beetle larvae

this one isnt my picture but heres what these little guys turn into

i really like weevils. and beetles specifically i think they are my favorite kinds

i specifically really like acorn weevils but there are a LOT of unique weevils out therw and thats one thing that i really like about bugs in general cause theres so many to learn about

i dont know if i have a favorite in particular but i really like ladybugs i like identifying which one they are i could identify a 7 spotted ladybug from anywhere

its really difficult to find good information out there especially since theres a lot of misconceptions and misinformation about certain bugs out there so be careful where you get your information from, like there's a whole debate about ladybugs and ladybeetles biting and people calling them the same thing and its generally pretty confusing because a lot of different sites say a lot of different things so im still looking for a good source to like research this stuff

sorry that was unrelated i was gonna talk about the ladybug debate but i got sidetracked and realized i might not fully understand that yet and dont wanna give out ladybug misinformation because of it but as far as ive seen theyve been pretty nice to me

here are some of my favorite beetles (with labels) so you can see which is which

this is a diabolical ironclad beetle also known as phloeodes diabolicus

i really like them because not only are they literally the strongest beetle out there but their name sounds funny and i have to reference it whenever someone says anything along the lines of devious/diabolical/etc
