    Do butterflies infest homes and destroy property?

    I feel like it’s less what they look like, and more how they impact us. It’s still very human-centric, but ya know, not so much a beauty thing as one might think at first.

      nope, its all moths, clothes moths, pantry moths are very hard to eradicate. notable mentions are drain moths, and pantry beetles. butterflies are specializes to mostly flowers, or sometimes carrion, since they are recently evolved from moths, moths are very ancient insects.

      Yep. Spiders are top 10 ugliest creatures in history, but I would never kill one unless it was a lethally toxic variety. Because they keep the population of disease-carrying, filthy-egg-laying proboscidean-vomiting flying vermin down. Spiders are bros.

        Yeah, same thing with house centipedes, but I’d argue they’re even uglier than spiders.

      For real. I don’t like mosquitos, either. Has nothing to do with the fact that they are ugly.

        Mosquitos are actually quite beautiful https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-58398905

        Just lookup mosquito macro photography - they’re all colorful and fluffy and everything

      Textile moths do. Good thing that they’re drab looking.

      I suggest reading this book. There’s a whole chapter about that or two, it may change your mind.
