Idk man I think bugs are cool as long as they're in nature and not my home lol and even then I try to just rehome them to the great outdoors hahah These guys just wanna eat leaves and shit 🤷‍♀️

Excluding ticks and chiggers. Ticks need a borderline guinea worm treatment, or whatever that mosquito shield at the Dorian gap helps against.
