#bug keeping

[onenicebugperday]

I am somewhat happy that jumping spiders are becoming popular as pets and even people who normally don't like spiders seem to find them cute, but people have GOT to stop acting like they are miniature mammals who want love and affection and pets and want to hang out with you.

I have seen countless posts in jumper groups from people asking why their jumper tries to escape when they're holding it or seems skittish or threat poses at them. It's because you are a giant predator and they want to get away from you. They don't get any happy chemicals from handling like mammals would.

I'm starting to see this in millipede groups as well. "Why is my millipede secreting this liquid on me?" Because it does not want to be handled. It's stressful for the animal, and stress can kill them.

Not only does it stress them, but often taking them out of their enclosure is dangerous for them - I have seen a lot of posts from people whose spider escaped and was injured or was crushed in the door of the enclosure because they were taking it in and out frequently. Drops can also be harmful, especially for larger invertebrates like tarantulas and bigger millipedes.

In general, invertebrate pets are not going to be a good option if you want to handle something frequently. There are definitely some species and individuals who tolerate it more, and if you're an experienced keeper, you can learn the signs of a stressed animal and only handle ones that are chill about it. But the majority of the time, they should be left alone and observed only.

Wrangling the Children onto some fresh leaves. The Cecropia Kids are over 40 days old and still growing, and I’m starting to worry they won’t pupate in before I leave on vacation . Granted, I’m sure everything will be ok but it’s in my nature to worry over multi-legged invertebrate children. I just love larvae.

(Forgive the frass, I cleaned it out shortly after getting all the cats onto fresh food)

I hope so

Enix’s breath hitches, what an incredible sight before him.

You, a leg draped over the back of the couch, head thrown back in a mix of frustration and pleasure. Your arm moving up and down rapidly, tiring fast, and making you groan harder. it’s the image of perfection to Enix.

“mm…!” Brows knit tightly, you’re struggling, a lot, to be honest… But you were feeling bored and now you’re determined to finish.

you stuff some fingers inside yourself and massage that spot you like so much while rubbing your front and fast. As fast as you can go.

Enix’s hand finds his own cock inside his pants, the wet patch had become cold and uncomfortable. He watches your fingers flick and squeeze inside of you while wishing that was any part of him getting to feel you around him.

He memorizes how you pleasure yourself.

He’d suck you off right now if he could. He’d worship you from the ground up. Oh and if you’d let him, he’d fuck you so hard, as if he’d die if he can’t meld his dick into your physical being. he’d strangle you and deprive you of air. He can’t help but need to hurt you, you’re just too cute! too precious! His hands burn around you, needing to wrap around and squeeze your flesh.

He’s shaking as he comes again. covering his mouth with the back of his hand as pathetic little whimpers leave him.

“Ah~!” You sigh

He wishes he had brought a jar to cum into so he could make you more sweets… Maybe he could still give you some more of him directly…

You grab a blanket from the back of the couch and lay it over yourself. Shortly after, Enix hears your soft, lulling snores.

He had saved at least a little of himself… Maybe, If he’s careful and doesn’t wake you—

He traces your body through the blanket, dizzy as he does, eyes practically spinning as he pants over your sleeping form.

He drags one hand up under the blanket up your thigh and slowly spreads your legs, and puts one back up over the couch back…

“Mmf…” you humph and mumble but keep snoring.

He slowly pulls your underwear to the side, and touches his seamen coated fingers to your sopping hole…

First, he massages just the outside, listening to your breath becoming shallower… His own still escaping him, and his nerves making him shake erratically. His fingers curl, dipping into you just barely giving you what you need.

His fingers slowly trace your hole one final time before he lets them both enter you. He smears his sperm all around your spongey interior, it feels like heaven to him!

He curls his fingers and itches that spot for you.

His breathing becomes ragged and loud, but your brows are knit as snores keep spilling from you.

He covers his mouth and pushes his fingers as deep into as possible, knuckles pressing hard into your base.

“Oh gods!”

Enix uses his free hand to quickly pulls himself free from his pants, right before he cums again, all over your belly and up the side of the couch.

He did it! he’s been accepted into your body now… He’s a part of you now.

His fingers squeeze inside of you again before he pulls them away.

He covers you back up. and heads back into the closet. satisfied with his work for now.

He continues to watch as you sleep peacefully, coated in his essence, and some even inside of you! He’s doubled over in an ecstatic high. He can barely keep himself quiet, when the front door opens… His wild eyes slowly travel to the source of the sound.

It’s your partner, Cameron.

Luckily the brute goes directly to the bathroom for a shower.

You’re still sleeping, looking so perfect for Enix.

He can’t help that his blood is boiling… He can���t stop his hand from grabbing the knife, and going into the bathroom when..

“Cameron?” He hears you stir.

He hides back in the closet, as far back as he can go so you don’t see him.

“Ew! What the fuck Cameron! you freak!!” you shout into the bathroom wiping Enix’s cum off of your lower half.

His legs clench, he knows you’d be calling him a freak… And he can’t help but feel so hot because of it.

Yes! He’s a freak! He’s your freak! He wants desperately for you to just step on him, spit on him, beat him! Give him love or give him hate, just give him something!

He’ll take care of you regardless.

He makes plenty of money with his clean up buisness… It involves lots and lots of insects, but he gets the jobs done. And his clients pay well.

He’s still holding the knife, contemplating grabbing you from behind when cameron steps out, his massive stature dwarfing you, Enix can’t possibly take both of you at once… So he waits.

“Hey, babe,” the word that came from Cameron’s vile maw makes Enix lose his mind in rage. His grip on the knife handle tightens.

“Fucking freak.” You call him and reach around him for your loofa and some soap.

“Oh c’mon, what’d i do this time?”

You’re only response is a look that sends shivers all the way down Enix’s back.

Cameron tries to touch you, and you just smack his hands away.

He’s so glad you’re rejecting that foul behemoth, in favor of him!

He’ll take such better care of you!

You won’t even have to work that shitty job anymore!

All you have to do is stay with him!

After you’re both out of the shower Cameron lays on the dirty couch and grabs his dab rig to get high.

By the next day, Enix hasn’t slept in at least two…

He’s definitely starting to smell.

It’s taken all the will power he has to take himself home…

“You’ll be fine,” He tells himself

“You can stand up for yourself, I don’t have to worry,” He repeats.

“Y/N will be fine,” he breathes the words more than says them, “Besides. I have to feed the insects.”

Beside him on the dash sits his phone, but rather than a GPS shows the five cameras he set up while you were still out. He tries not to let them distract him, but everytime there’s even slight movement his eyes are sucked to the screen. Sometimes he almost swerves off the road, but he manages to get home.

He takes a cold shower, feeds his bugs enough for a week, and packs clothes for the same amount… He then adds a few spare pairs of underwear and extra pants just in case.

He takes extra time at a few certain insect enclosures… The Brown Widow, the Tarantula Hawk and some scorpion tanks… Their venoms have a common factor, a paralytic effect, that he likes to combine and home brew with their help.

He thinks about the Tarantula Hawks for a second too long. How they sting a special prey that they deem worthy of their offspring… After the sting their prey is paralyzed, unable to reject them as they inject their offspring into their body. The offspring grows up and devours the surrogate.

He doesn’t want to kill you…

He won’t kill you.

He ca—

He has to get back to you.

He has to get you away from that oaf that lives with you.

I love scorpions for many many reasons but honestly my favorite trait is their being able to just pick things up and carry them around. Like I can just HAND something to them and they can reach up and. Take it. I can just pass a cricket to a scorpion and he will take it with his funny little hand and start chowing down on it like the happiest man alive. He can come over and wave his hand at me and then I'll hold out a cricket to him and he'll reach up to gingerly pluck it from between my thumb and forefinger and after a brief examination where he shuffles it back and forth between his claws he declares it satisfactory and starts absolutely shoveling that shit into his mouth. Perfect creature design 1000/10, flawless AND stylish

Does anyone have cockroach (or bugs in general) care tips? my school caught a cockroach and put him in a jar and Im really interested in getting him to live for as long as possible

I really love the pictures and videos you post. I love centipedes so much, they are probably my favorite animal, but I do not currently and probably will never have the means to take care of them properly. It makes me very happy to be able to see such high-quality images and videos of them, and all your other critters. Wishing joy and health to you!

I don’t think that keeping an animal is requisite to like them! I think many reptiles & snakes are beautiful and intriguing and have 0 desire to have them in my home. centipedes make really rather boring pets, anyway—the videos I get are of rare interactions; most of ‘pede keeping is checking on an apparently lifeless box of dirt to see if there’s anything to clean.

I would be perfectly content with nobody getting inspired to keep bug pets from my account. they can do a lot for people, educationally and ecologically, from their place in the wild, which is where most species belong. it sort of makes me upset when there’s a picture of a beautiful animal and all of the comments on it are how they want it for a pet. they’re worth so much more to the world than that!

if you’ve got the capability and responsibility to keep bugs, support captive breeding, and can love animals that really don’t do anything most of the time, then certain invertebrates do make for fascinating pets.
