I used to be TERRIFIED of all bugs, but I took an entomology class a few years ago and got over it. It was kind of a life changing experience. I don’t scream when bugs fly by me anymore. Lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be TERRIFIED of all bugs, That's pretty close to how I am, but ants and flies don't terrify me. Most other bugs do, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t say anything valuable. And further, citizen scientists who give their information to entomologists are the reason we know monarchs are in decline. Killing a monarch butterfly, particularly once it is already in its final stage of metamorphosis, is not harmful to their population or an influencing factor at all of their population decline. I’m very well informed on this subject. I assume you are not. Thanks for wanting to help the butterflies, but maybe worry more about the milkweed being killed by Monsanto than me killing a bug in my back yard. Edited October 23, 2018 by garbagepailcat Typos galore! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
