I hate bugs. Well, more so fear them irrationally, not hate.

But when I am enjoying the outdoors, I do much better with them. Thats their turf, I get it. I also expect them there.

But i see one inside at home or work or somewhere else, whew boy ima screech embarrassingly loud.

imagine if you could remove bugs from existence and anything that relies on them for food or reproduction such as birds and plants develops alternatives for it.

what a nice place earth would be

Bugs are bioengineering masterpieces.

The most recent Zefrank video is a great example of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spuO7OpS6zw

white people do be invasive, she could've said "me if bugs didn't crawl on me" or something like that, but no, straight up aiming for the nonexistence of an important family of animals

You if bugs didn't exist:

(Grasses are angiosperms and rely on bugs to reproduce.)

Me if all bugs went on vacation one week in summer.

Even mosquitoes? Please tell me we can live without them.

You dislike mosquitos all you want. Some species rely on them. There's always something. They exist for a reason.

Alternatively you can just install screen doors, wear long sleeves, and use mosquito repellent.

They exist because they reproduce faster than they die. The fact that they are necessary for some other species is irrelavant to their existance. Such a claim only really makes sense for plants and animals that people farm.

Some male mosquitoes pollinate flowering plants, but most grasses don't make flowers so grasses atleast probably don't rely on mosquitoes. But who knows, I'm not a grass-ologist.

I feel itchy just from looking at this
