What bug do you think looks most like a bugle, and can we make a pun about it?
if you mean the instrument, i have no idea, but if you mean the chips...
then i think this thorn bug is a good contender based on my limited knowledge
Treehoppers - Membracidae
(PART 1) / (PART 2) / (PART 3) / (PART 4)
Do you ever see an insect and think . . . What the hell? What the helly? What the helleonte? What the helleon? What the helleberry?
Because that is how I felt, seeing various tree hoppers. They look AWESOME ! ! I am 100% going to make multiple parts of this post showing of the variety, because WOW ! !
Umbonia ataliba
Ant-mimicking Treehopper - Cyphonia clavata
Thorn Bug - Umbonia crassicornis
Poppea formosa
Tortistilus pacificus
My entry to The Aussie Artist's 30K followers contest over on instagram, to create a Convergent or Regional form changing the pokemon types according to this format
I choose to change the TYRANITAR's line Rock type for Bug
Changing TYRANITAR's line from Rock to Bug was kind of an obvious choice since both LARVITAR and PUPITAR already had "Larvae" and "Pupa" in their names, the only challenge was to turn TYRANITAR itself into a bug
LARVITAR (Bug/Ground) is based on a Thorn Bug, I choose this due to their similar looking bodies and colors,
PUPITAR (Bug/Ground) is not really based in any particular cocoon or pupa, even tho there are several species with spiky cocoons out there
KATYRANITAR (Bug/Dark) s the regional evolution of this line, it is based on the Armored Katydid or Armored Bush Cricket, a type of giant predator katydid from Africa. This bug fitted TYRANITAR perfectly as it is the "armor pokemon".
KATYRANITAR legs are actually really long but remain folded most of the time. Due to its large size, hoping would be too hard, so they only use them in very specific situations, like pouncing over a prey from a long distance, or getting away quickly from a fight with a larger member of their species, as they are cannibals.
The thorn bug enchenopa, here spelled "euchenopa."
Source details and larger version.
Some very weird vintage insects are collected here.

Here is part 2 of my bugs and other critters collage! These were fun I'll probably do more later. All of these fellas are available individually and as a collage on redbubble.
This collage includes a candy cane snail with a Cuban land snail and green drake mayfly. A branch with a candy-striped leafhopper, thorn bug tree hopper, and plant hopper. And finally a sunflower with a blue weevil, net-winged beetle, and golden buprestid beetle.

Thorn bug propaganda:

This is a bug I only recently discovered, mainly in my search for bugs to post on this blog. This, ladies and gents, is the Thorn Bug.
Thorn Bugs primarily live in the subtropical areas of the United States. They don't bite or sting, nor do they eat crops. They do, however, love to feast on ornamental plants, y'know, ones we just like to look at. So, they are considered pests by some avid gardeners.
And, you see them wings? They use a strategy called fly-walk-strut to attract mates. What this means is that they will fly from one plant to another, walk around, and strut his stuff until a female notices them and falls in love.
Praise be to the thorn bugs.
