Arthropods are very under-appreciated in the furry community, even the "charismatic" ones. I'm still annoyed that there's no option for them in the drop-down species list. Here's several bugs you should know and anthropomorphize; get the ball rolling on bug popularity!

1) Giant Devil's Flower Mantis:
Flower mantids use their unusual body forms to mimic the appearance of flowers for both safety and stealth. Idolomantis diabolica is one of the largest and most impressive, with an elongated head and red eyes making its name easy to understand.

2) Southern Flannel Moth/Pussy Moth:
Infamous in the southwest United States for the unimaginably painful sting of its fluffy caterpillars, megalopyge opercularis is also notable for its long-haired body and distinctive coloration.

3) Gliding/Flat Headed Ant
Cephalotes atratus is intimidating in appearance, but also ability- these ants have evolved the ability to make a controlled fall, repositioning themselves in midair to glide in different directions. They're also very capable of defending themselves from attackers, and are able to retract their antenna for defense

4) Cockchafer/Maybug
The Melolontha genus is common in Europe, but have distinctive antenna which I find makes them an exceptional sight.

5) Acraga coa moth
Hardly a commonly known species, this coastal Mexican species is difficult to find online. However, i can't resist the awesome orange fluff of this species, and had to include it.
