📝Not all insects are our friends.
But they live on Earth, just like us.
Let's try to know more about them.

1/Damselfly
Many fishes eat flies.
But I was wondering whether a damselfish eats a damselfly.
That would be logical, wouldn't it?

2/Arachnophobia
— The pilot is unable to get into a plane. He needs to see a psychologist.
— Oh ! He's got aerophobia?
— No, arachnophobia. There was a spider in the cockpit during his last flight.

3/Exuvia
Those insects defend their territory in a very special way.
They gather several exuvias to build a giant one that they expose in order to frighten other species.
And it works !

4/Water Strider
Water striders are often mistaken for spiders.
They're not.
They're regular insects that never shave.
Their hair are, in fact, what enables them to walk on water.

5/ Sting
As the problem of sexist violence seemed too difficult to solve collectively, some women opted for body modifications and gave themselves a discrete sting that paralyzed their aggressors.
Not knowing who could be dangerous to them, the men learnt to behave.

6/Antennae
The new generation of robots is able to experiment, not only sight and touch, but also taste and smell through their antennae, connected to their system and to a large database of existing sensations.

7/Chitin
Those who pretend to have chitin on the sole of their feet are lying. It's keratin, that is to say hard skin.
They choose to keep it to replace the use of shoes.
We need more hindsight to say if it's a good idea.

8/Pollinating
The first pollinating nanobots were silent, and people didn't like them. Now that they buzz like the last bees, they are considered friendly.
People are ununderstandable.

9/Moths
Some of my robot neighbours had moths as pets.
They fed them and played with them, whereas we struggled to get rid of ours.
We then made a deal. They could keep the moths, but only in special boxes from where they couldn't fly away.

In a chess game, the queen once decided to get rid of all the other pieces.
But in the other camp, the other queen had the same idea. They met, they talked and just burnt the board which they understood was the source of all their problems.

11/Backswimmer
In the newly flooded towns, you can buy rubber boots, but the must-have is an inflatable raincoat, called Backswimmer.
You just push a button, then your coat is a boat. You paddle with your arms.

12/Swarm
The mosquito drones were built to work as individual units. But lately, several swarms of drones from different factories were noticed, flying together. This behaviour amazes their developers but worries the clients.

13/Nymph
Nymph is the name given to the robots before their painting and activation.
They are like larvae and the person who will adopt them is the one who will decide for the many options that will make each of them unique.

14/Hemolymph
Some people inject themselves with the hemolymph of termite queens. This is supposed to make them live longer. But for a termite queen, being the oldest insect means only having a 15 to 20 years lifespan.

15/Stag beetle
This fish species disappeared a long time ago. They only ate stag beetles. Not only did the beetle become smaller, but they learned how to fight even on the water surface. The fish just starved and died.

The teenage robot girl doesn't like herself. She thinks she's ugly, but she doesn't know her present state is just an an imago before the butterfly robot form.

I don't know if the darters, the birds also called snakebirds, eat darters, the insects also called dragonflies.
It would be funny, especially for the birds.

I gave up trying to have roommates. The precedents had all ended up hurting my pets. All I have left is June, Tim and Chuck, my tame cockroaches.

19/Antlion
She sues the body sculptor to whom she had asked an antlion appearance.
She woke up looking like the larvae form, basically a cockroach. He said she should have asked a dragonflie.

20/Ocelloid
In order to get the robots sensitive to the light, some biological subcellular structures called ocelloid were added to their eyes.
They worked neither better nor worse than classic photocells.

Mantis moms warn their sons not to follow any female offering them to come to their home. They teach their sons prudence, as much as they can, but few males escape their doom.

22/Mimetism
If a glowworm glimmers, it's just mimetism.
I think the Glowworms imitate the stars in order to lose their preys.
I don't mind if they mainly eat snails, let me dream my dreams.

Some robots look like spiders. They have more than two pairs of arms and sometimes antennas which they call pedipalps and that they use for intimate communication purposes.

The location of the hive has an impact on the taste of the honey, they said.
Then they tried to sell me their highway honey.
Do I look so stupid?

Some old robots have feet. They look like humans and they walk just like them.
But most of us prefer caterpillar wheels which are both stable and nice.

Stop anthropocentrism.
The inventor of maggot therapy isn't a human being. This very ancient technique was created by the fly larvae themselves in order to survive.

The last commercial drone is conceived to fly by night, when most humans sleep.
It delivers little supplies and has solar lamps. Its name is Firefly.

28/scolopendra
This cocktail is called scolopendra bite.
It is hot and spicy, but not so dangerous.
After drinking one, you feel faster than the world around, as if you had a thousand hands and feet.

Why would a robot need mandibles? They don't have to eat, they don't need to open their mouth to talk. It's just anthropomorphism. Again.

In France, the 2025 civil war is called Butterwar,because one of the involved regions was known for its salted butter. A legend says that in the beginning of the conflict, you could see butter fly. I don't think this is true.
