im literally in my room and one dumb roach just decided to climb on the top of my wall and just fly disturbing my peace bruh
Scavenger trait gives bonus evolution points to spend on other upgrades. Flying is strong on carapace centric builds. Makes sense.
to increase their nightmarish quality
Because then they wouldn’t be able to freak you out as much.
Without the ability to fly they wouldn’t be God’s most perfect creation
so they can kiss u
When I was a kid, my uncle would tie a sewing threads on the rear legs of a cockroach. Then throw it in the air and it would become a morbid balloon. I would often pull too hard and rip it’s legs out.
The 80s were weird.
The insect apocalypse is by far the most ominous sign in my lifetime, but if I never again see a mating swarm of palmetto bugs, a cloud of them flying, it will be too soon.
Once we were at a Mexican restaurant and in the booth behind us were some students from somewhere else. They were talking about the palmetto bugs and one said, well at least they don’t fly. And I turned around and said, “oh no, I regret I have some very bad news for you.”
Those fuckers don’t even run or fly away, they come AT you. My mom said they like to try to squeeze into small spaces, don’t like being out in the open and see you as a safe place not a threat. I have a fear of them that is way beyond reason.
It seems like only the really really big ones take flight
The scientific term is juicy.
My science teacher in high school told me all the kinds can fly, it’s just a matter of age. So maybe that’s why it’s only the big ones? Idk i don’t see the little ones flying either but apparently the little ones are the absolute worst to have around
To prove the is no god.
Checkmate, theists.
Come to Florida and meet the Palmetto Bugs. First time I encountered one in the dark I thought it was a bat.
They’ve got places to go.
because they don’t know their words
Mine figured their words out. But they still know how to fly. :(
The perfect organism
Oh God they’ve weaponized them. Why am I consigned to this timeline?
They are actually very closely related to mantids! And if you ever see one take off you’ll see it.
Earwigs can fly too…
All the better to get to your ear

To humble you and remind you you’re not as tough as you think you are. It’s terrifying.

Man these leash laws are getting out of hand.
Next you’ll tell me I need to have a leash on my ladybugs and my kids.

Man, that brought up a childhood memory. As a kid, my siblings and I used to catch this specific species of Russian hoverfly that looks like a wasp on a string like that and walk around with them. Since they could hover, they didn’t even seem to mind it much and just went along with it.
