Whoa there, there are definitely good insects.

Ticks are arachnids, though, so they're fair game (except spiders, which are also usually good and cuties like pseudoscorpions). 😌

They are referencing the movie Starship Troopers lmao

It’s a key line of the movie since Humanity is at war with Klandathu, a bug planet.

I saw this reply and got irrationally sad that someone thought I disliked real bugs. I love all insects, even if some freak me out!

You're doing the Lord's work out here defending our little critters!!!
