    Moths!

    Or maybe bees. I have always wanted to hug a bumblebee.

        Maybe outside are the ants & millipedes that skip lunch bcs they are too cool for school?

    …Right next to the oil furnace in the basement, trying to figure out how to rig it to blow and burn the place down.

      No way. What’s their name?

        That’s a she.

        My other T. vagans’ ( same species) name is Garambullo, inspired by the very delicious fruit of this cactus. Kinda looks like the species signature red rump.

        But this one doesn’t have a name… Any suggestions? It’s a female but I’m sure she’s fine with whatever XD.

      Hell yeah!

    Bees because bees are usually pretty chill and I like chill. Especially the bumblebees.

    source
  • Diddlydee@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Moths every time. It’s not even close.

  • thelsim@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    I wouldn’t dare to sit here as a human. I’m too big and would probably squish them all by accident.

    But if I got to choose to be one, I’d go for the spiders. You get:

    • two extra legs over the rest
    • your own supply of crafting materials
    • lots of eyes
    • and a cozy place to relax in

    At one of those empty tables

    Tangent, there is a fun fantasy book series by Adrian Tchaikovsky where all the main characters are humanoids with bug qualities. So basically spiderman, antman, mantisman, etc. It is entertaining when you mix fantasy tropes (dueling for honour!) with mantis arm spikes…

    source
    • Thorry@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Adrian Tchaikovsky also has the Children of Time series in which spiders are the main characters. A very fun read!

  • glibg@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    The moths table for the vibes, but the seat closest to the spiders to get in on their jokes.

    source
  • fascicle@leminal.space ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    I would definitely want to be friends with the mantises in case they go postal one day

    source
    • MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Lol. We run on opposite wavelengths. If the mantises go postal I want to be as far away as possible.

      source
    • SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      They definitely look the most stylish

    i think Id make a pretty moth :)

  • Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    LÖMP!

    source
  • Pat_Riot@lemmy.today ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    I have a decent relationship with mantids already. I’d sit with them.

    source
  • Evil_Shrubbery@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Idk, I feel like they would group differently.

    The popular high-fashion ones (mantis, jumping spider) would be at one table, goths at the other, jocks are already together (beetles), goodly two-shoes nerds (bees) also, …

  • unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Unless you are a piece of shit, because then the beetles will ragdoll roll you around until you are a nice sphere of shit.

      (How do I plan such a funeral for myself?)

  • burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    I think I’d go with the moths. Least likely to kill me.

    source
  • hOrni@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    I will sit under the lightbulb and wait for the moths to join me.

    source
  • Saryn@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Everyone knows that anyone who knows anything about anything would go for the most evolutionary diverse group - spiders.

    There is nothing these little guys can’t do. Fly over hundreds of kilometres? You got it. Extend their nervous systems several thousand times past their body area using web? Check. Biological hydraulic system? Yup. Jump 10 to 50 times their body lenght? No problem. Live underwater using silk made diving suit? You bet your sweet behind. Paralyze your body after one bite? Easy.

      None of this makes me want to share a table with them.

      source
  • Laukidh@infosec.pub ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    I would sit down at an empty table and it would turn out to be the Bees’

    source
  • DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Outside, against the wall, alone. At least that’s where I sat in high school. So, maybe with the wasps?

    source
  • BurnedDonutHole@ani.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Mantises

    source
  • Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    As far away from the moths as possible. Too chaotic and irrational for me.

    source
  • Empricorn@feddit.nl ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    In the Control Center, making sure to nuke them from space. I know these are all statistically not aggressive, but I just can’t shake the instinctive impulse to eradicate them…

    source
  • psx_crab@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Bees or moth, chance of dying is significantly smaller compare to the rest of the group.

    source
  • booty@hexbear.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Fuck, that’s a hard choice. I’m either sitting with moth gang or spider gang, but the bees are a great choice too.

    source
  • ouRKaoS@lemmy.today ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    I’d be at the oddball table with the roly poly, millipede & dragonfly…

    source
    • wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Dragonflies are likely to be with the mantids at the “we will rip your head off if we like you, you don’t want to know what we do to our enemies” table.

      source
      • ouRKaoS@lemmy.today ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        I imagine dragonflies as the “enforcer nerd”; they hang with the weird kids as both companions and security.
