Have I told u guys about the giant mosquitos of the region I live yet
They're kinda intimidating at first but they're so dumb and fly so awkwardly you end up just admiring them for their size. True himbos of the bug kingdom.
Fun fact: as much as they look like mosquitoes, they're not practitioners of hematophagy and work more like flies. Because they actually are flies. This one is from the Tipulidae family, supposedly a Megistocera.

Eyy crane flies!! I have those where I live but they're not nearly as impressuve as yours LOL. They truely are the himbos of bugs on account of they are so STUPID but that is just why I loce them their just clumsy idiots. People are all the time afraif of them but they really donmt practice much of anything-phagy let alone biting and bloodsucking or eating mosquitos (the most common cranefly legends I have seen), they can really only eat liquid nectar ar MOST ans that's if they can eat anything at all because they like many other bugs pretty much pork snd die upon reaching adulthood (after managing to bump into everything on the way out) so some of them dont even have mouths. . Truely misunderstood creachers but i woll always vouch 4 them

The giant mosquitoes smell like rotten ketchup when you squish them.

I just had a TERRIBLE moment where I accidentally dropped one of my stick bug eggs but luckily I could find it and luckily it did not fall between the creaks in the wooden floor
No egg left behind
Anyway have a picture of this bug I have in resin idk what kinda bug it is still but it's neat, when the tits die I want to preserve them in resin too bc they're too pretty to just do away

Everytime I see someone say "perfect lifeform" on the Alien series I don't think about the xenomorph, I think about this
(Yes, it's eating a caterpillar.)
This bad boy can cause so much ruckus you have no idea. This is a species of wasp able to live pretty much anywhere here and their queen is such a bad bitch she can calm down the whole colony just by vibrating her hips because she's on tonight you know her hips don't lie and her colony's starting to feel it's right
No joke though, she can repress violent behaviour by just vibrating angrily until they shut up. They're pretty widespread through most of America I believe, but here they're called marimbondos instead of wasps. That's a Polistes canadensis and the usual childhood experience is getting stung by one at least once here (my cousin got stung in the butt. Twice.), but I guess I'm both a moth and wasp charmer because they just chilled with me and snacked on my fruit instead of being angry with murderous intent
What a beautiful lad

We also have other species of wasp we call marimbondo.
Marimbondo number 1
This one's called "marimbondo chapéu", or hat (wasp) in a free translation; scientifical name Apoica pallida. They're called this way because of the odd manner they build their nests, which is a true trypophobic's nightmare if you ask me (tw just in case:)
They have an amazing color scheme and are nocturnal. Typically, they prefer open, drier spaces such as the Caatinga or the Cerrado.
Big boi.
Marimbondo number 2
This one's the marimbondo-cavalo or marimbondo-caçador, or horse (wasp) and hunter (wasp). More widely known in English as tarantula hawk because they're such good fighters that they can prey on fucking spiders.
Evil. I love them.
They have one of the most painful stings in the world and HEEHEE you can get stung by one of these here. On Brazil. For free! What a great deal. As a result, they're also called colloquially as "horse killers" (mata-cavalos).
If insufferable pain doesn't sound like a good deal for ya, worry not, they're generally docile.
Marimbondo 3
This one is generally not called a marimbondo here, but more as mamangaba. Veeery rarely as marimbondo mamangaba. At most, they're called vespas-de-rodeio, or rodeo wasps because you gotta have your cowboy representation in the bug kingdom, man
Distantly yeehaws
Shaped like a friend!
Ecologically good!
Metaphorically hug your local wasp today!
