Scavenger trait gives bonus evolution points to spend on other upgrades. Flying is strong on carapace centric builds. Makes sense.

disturbing my peace

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.

Checkmate, theists.

It seems like only the really really big ones take flight

The scientific term is juicy.

[-] ChexMax@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

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 increase their nightmarish quality

because they don't know their words

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Mine figured their words out. But they still know how to fly. :(

The perfect organism

They've got places to go.

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.

Without the ability to fly they wouldn't be God's most perfect creation

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 3 months ago

They are actually very closely related to mantids! And if you ever see one take off you'll see it.

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Oh God they've weaponized them. Why am I consigned to this timeline?
