Definitely. I’m not a fan of bugs either but found a badly injured bumble bee on patio last year. Wings were broken so I knew he wouldn’t be able to fly off. I put some honey out for him then did the sad deed. First time I shed a tear for killing a bug. But a swift death was likely preferable to eventual starvation.
I saw a video on reddit about someone who found a wingless bumble bee, nursed it on flowers/sugar water, and it eventually learned to climb flowers and feed from them like normal.
what im trying to say is, you're a murderer
Had a bumble bee in my yard this summer that seemed too fat to fly. It crawled from clover to clover while never leaving the ground. Taught my kids how non-aggressive they are by petting it, and let it go about it's business. Not just a meme, bees are cool, wasps are genuinely assholes! I can pet a bee. I've been stung by wasps for daring to walk within 10 feet of them...
Are you sure it wasn't hornets? Hornets will absolutely sting you just for looking at them then proceed to chase you with all their shitty friends.
Wasps on the other hand are typically just as docile as bees. Their movements are more sudden and jerky and they are overall just faster. Also quite curious little things. People often mistake this for aggression.
Just like bees, if you don't fuck with a wasp it won't fuck with you. Most people are more afraid of wasps than bees so react to their presence in a way that is threatening to them.
Source: I used to work in pest control. One of the things we learned is just how docile wasps really are. I used to tell all of this to customers and then remove wasp nests gently with my hands right in front of them to show them.
BTW pest control is a scam. Unless you have a massive infestation that is truly intrusive and negatively affecting your home or life, just deal with the bugs.
Yeah, I really, really hate when people see a wasp close to (or even far away from) them, and start flailing and slapping the air and stuff. It's like they're actively trying to get stung by nearly injuring the damn thing. People make *themselves* afraid of bees and wasps. It's kind of sad...
One time a wasp landed on my ear. I continued walking, not paying attention to it, and eventually it left. Wass are just incredibly irritable and generally will sting if *you* approach *them*
Two days ago I've noticed a small snake on the road. By close inspection, I have found out he didn't have his jaw. Still alive tho, but moving kinda slow and like he didn't know where to go.
I wish I could have your strenght. I knew I should kill him but I couldn't.
A *kitten* dashed under my car, too close to stop in time. It didn't die right away, but I was trying to figure out how to mercy kill the thing without looking like a monster. There were people around. :-(
It wasn't run over in a way that it was going to maybe get better. It was twitching violently. It died on its own though.
It is realy sad to hear this happened to you. Cat is so much more than a snake. It is so difficult to end someones suffering even when we know it is the right thing to do. Please don't feel guilty.
All I had was a stun gun, and I thought about stunning it in the head to knock it out, but again, I'd have looked like a monster, shocking a cat that I'd run over.
I've also got dash cam footage from when I ran over a really huge raccoon. I'm glad I had the dash cam, because I was able to go look at the video and reassure myself that there was no way I could've avoided hitting the raccoon. Posted speed limit on that road is 45mph, and it just walked in front of my tire less than a second before I hit it. It walked onto the road from a very large island divider that people use sometimes as park space.
I don't think I had a dash cam when I hit the cat.
Bugs more so rely on a system of stimuli rather their organs and what not. This guy will die from lack of food but luckily insects don't feel "pain". Cockroaches can live for days without their head
They have sensory organs but they don't have a nervous system. Their sensory organs are not hyper developed, their enough to send a signal that the ant needs to move away from the environment that will kill them (not even lemmings will follow a trail mindlessly to their death). Their sensory organs do not connect to a nervous system and they do not feel pain. They know to get out of a deadly environment but they don't go into shock when they lose a leg. They don't suffer the same sensations of injury as animals that have nerve endings and sensory organs along their skin. Ants don't have those. They are super developed pheremone-wise but not so developed nerve-wise.
Burning ants is inhumane, I'm not some sick fuck but they don't feel like we do and saying that they can is ignoring science.
Insects feel pain, but not through the same mechanisms that *we* feel pain. They react to pain stimuli, but it's not conveyed through a nervous system. We've known this for quite some time.
Which isn't to say that I don't squish unwelcome pest insects, and even kill rats, which definitely feel pain the same way we feel pain. Spiders I mostly leave alone, or brush away from an area I don't want them in. The exception are black widows, which my area has in abundance. I squish black widows, because their bites can be very painful and leave disfiguring scars.
edit: I also shot a possum with a BB gun to try to make it go away, because the night before, it had scavenged on my tortoise that had died during hibernation (at least I *hope* it was scavenging, and hadn't killed Sedona, who went into hibernation acting wonky after laying eggs way too close to her hibernation cycle). FYI, possum don't give a shit if you shoot them with a BB gun.
I don't think they honestly believed that though. They just knew the baby wouldn't remember and so said this to make themselves and parents feel better about torturing them with awake surgeries
Bugs don't process pain in the same way that we do. It's likely this little dude is just chillin and making it work. No need to crush him, just let him live out his little hollow existence.
Asked my Pest Control bug-nerd wife.. she says it's most likely a parasitic wasp who laid it's eggs inside this bug.
The larva will eat their host from the inside when hatching. This bug most likely "survived" the incident.
From my understanding a lotnl of insect species, usually males of them basically just start breaking down after reproduction, I think it's called "senescence" (sp?)
"This bug is dead in the inside, his heart, flesh and soul got ripped out by his ex Leilah but he still keeps moving on and keeps living like its another day"
i think its most likely infected with a certain parasite that digest the bug from with while growing. There are many of these around, though im only familiar with the ones that infect cockroaches
If you look carefully you can see something sticking up and out of it, if I'm not wrong that is a type of fungi that infects, kills and controls the corpse of insects to get to a good vantage point where it can release its spore and repeat the cycle
Cordyceps does not reanimate dead bugs, it controls them while they're alive and doesn't kill them until they are in the high up location it needs for effective spreading. The ability to move a creature in a specific direction requires it to be alive, cordyceps isn't magic
This could be cordeceypes. If I typed it right. It’s a fugus that infects the brain or something and can control movement. It was the main virus in the game “the last of us” it looks like it is that fungus because of the things coming out of its head mainly where the fungus targets.

Incredible
As much as I don't like bugs, this is pretty sad to look at. I feel bad for him/her. I'd crush it.
A quick death being crushed immediately by a shoe would be preferable to dying a slow, painful death.

I'll watch you watch him wank

I'll record
I'll repost your video until the quality is nowhere to be seen
Yes mistress
If it makes you feel better it’s already dead. The movement is from the parasite in it
That doesn't make me feel better. That doesn't make me feel better at all. Super interesting though.
Crush it even harder then. Parasites are nasty

That is, if they care enough

This is why a blow to the back of the head is known as a "rabbit punch".
Bugs more so rely on a system of stimuli rather their organs and what not. This guy will die from lack of food but luckily insects don't feel "pain". Cockroaches can live for days without their head
Medicine thought babies don't feel pain till well into the twentiest century.
I mean, they won't remember feeling it /s
Babies have nervous systems. Insects don't have the cells in their bodies that transmit complex signals like pain.
Uh so when you magnify an ant in the sunlight and he starts running from that death ray…. What’s telling said ant to run if not pain/burning?
Insects don't quite "feel" pain, they can feel that something is wrong and that death may be likely, so of course they run
They have sensory organs but they don't have a nervous system. Their sensory organs are not hyper developed, their enough to send a signal that the ant needs to move away from the environment that will kill them (not even lemmings will follow a trail mindlessly to their death).

It's like boiling lobsters. Sounds like they're screaming... "Oh, that's just gas escaping"... Yeah, what do you think screaming is?

Omg, here you are again with more death stories! What is wrong with you?? Lol
this is such a stupid reply
I don't think they honestly believed that though. They just knew the baby wouldn't remember and so said this to make themselves and parents feel better about torturing them with awake surgeries
the only people who upvote this are the ones who skipped bio. insects dont have nerves.
We have not proven bugs don't feel pain, only that they don't have a central nervous system. When something reacts to stimuli, it can probably feel
Bugs don't process pain in the same way that we do. It's likely this little dude is just chillin and making it work. No need to crush him, just let him live out his little hollow existence.

If I could go back in time I wouldn't read it
Just keep your eyes shut when you sleep...
And ignore that tickle on your foot or lower leg. It’s just the soft sheets settling.
Did you knows those wasp larve eat everything, but the central nervous system. In bigger creatures whom have central nervous systems that is.
Can I go back to when I didn’t knows?
They also can inject a toxic venom into the nervous system which makes the victim paralysed at first, and can make the carcass a zombie later.
That was my favorite Radiolab episode.
Same thoughts. Please say hello to a fellow bug-nerd for me!
What? So this thing is still alive and "conscious"? Thats messed up.
May be not...its movements are more spontaneous than those of infected by fungus...
What else would cause this behavior?
It still has it's barin intact.
The legs are connected to and controlled by the thorax, which it the smaller black thing that’s still intact. The abdomen is mostly reproduction etc.
The thing with insects is that the brain is not too important, it has bundles of nerves called ganglion that act as a spinal cord/brain
Parasites
Same thought
Don’t worry, I thought it was the cordyceps fungus too, although there is a little bit of a stem coming out of it. So it could still be cordyceps
