Poll of the Day > ATTN: insect dudes

(+) Yeah! (+)

What the fuck is this thing? It was holding onto the side mirror while I was going 65mph, and the road wasn't the smoothest, so its grip is pretty fucking stong.

Whatever that thing is, it's most certainly a better father than you.

some kind of moth maybe?

I was gonna say Cicada or Dragonfly but honestly not sure

It's too skinny to be a cicada, and it's definitely not a dragonfly unless there's some weird fucked up looking variant.

literally a grasshopper

I know it's not the best picture, but you really need either get some glasses or thicker glasses if you already wear a pair.

Not joking, that's a tropidacris cristata... I wouldn't bet my live on it, but it's a very close match

I don't know if I'm just dumb or have dyslexia but I read that as "Incest dudes" and thought this was going to be a troll topic.

That's not it at all. I tried googling and it looks nothing like the insect. I know it's a shitty pic, but the body shape is nothing like it.

Ok... SIDE STORY, but this is important

I went to bug finder by body type since, hey, it's a 6 legged with a basic winged longboi form... probably not a thicc damselfly, probably something like a brown version of a blue pennet

...

So I go to google, I type in "bug black pennet" and it autocorrects it to "big black penetration"... ya, thanks google, you're the stupidest.

It could be Didysmachus picipes. (A type of Robber Fly)

I'm almost certain that's it. It looked like a scary mother fucker, and I've seen a few those around these parts. I'm so glad that they rarely bite humans and aren't dangerous.

Bruh, how did you figure it out?

Well, mostly 'cuz I thought it was a red-footed grasshopper and after that "big black penetration" debacle I googled "looks like red footed grasshopper" and it was a couple pages down

I think it looks nothing like it, but I guess people think otherwise.

cuz I saw your bug and thought "ok, oval inset eyes so not a dragonfly... big thick legs, probably a grasshopper, they have oval inset eyes"
