I go nuts for oak trees

The little champion of industry

By the time you see me coming you're dead

Call me a "killer bee" and I'll chase you down

I eat Alfalfa, and believe it or not, so do people

I'm getting in a lot of steps today

I'm a janitor for ants

An apple a day won't keep me away

I take no prisoners

Give me a big hug

Always gray...except when I'm not

That's Mr. Murder Hornet to you

I'm just here to help you, not take over the world...wink wink

I'll have a meat slushy, extra large, please

I like to cosplay as a cobra

Multi-talented at making you cry

Run away! Run away!

Let's grab some coffee and have a chat

Even insect predators try to avoid bird poop

Like a volcano, when you see red I'm ready to erupt

The opera singer of the insect world

I have my own pet...an aphid

Sure I'm toxic, but I've got a great personality

A fierce predator, not a pack horse

Love me, adore me, but don't eat me

Even with a superhero named after me I get a lot of bad PR

I'm the life of the party, darling

Born vicious, but aren't my eyes pretty

Tricks are for lowly magicians, I use illusions

I'm blue and from Australia, but no one gave me a cartoon

A mosquito-hunting missile

Eat a blueberry, thank a bee

I'm a weevil fugitive

Treat me poorly and I'll melt your face

Not all who wander are lost...or have neurotoxic venom

Be a good chap and fetch my ant butler for me

I don't want to bite, honestly

My family dysfunction is your gain

Hands up or I'll sting

There's nothing common about my pollinating skills

Pass the cabbage, please

Don't make me say it...fine, woof

Haunting your basement like a teenager

Travel is way overrated

Call me a termite and I'll blow this place down

A genius with wood and a woodpecker's dream

Just out here looking for love

Please don't roast your chestnuts on an open fire

I inspired a martial arts revolution...for real

I'm really a nice guy. I just do one murdery thing.

Help me help you get rid of ragwort

Who doesn't love some citrus for breakfast?

Girls rule and boys drool

I prefer to avoid the circus, actually

I've got the sizzle and the stamina

I'm a lean, mean, potato eating machine

Your dirty clothes are my buffet line...yum

You don't want to eat after me

Stage name: Roly-Poly

Keeping a stiff upper lip

Back in my day we had to fly uphill both ways

I'm the pinnacle of mantids, in my own humble opinion

If there's an aphid-eating contest, I'll win for sure

Why yes, I am a natural redhead

Beneath my shiny exterior hides a sociopath

I eat like a cow but move like a bull

Nothing to see here, just an ordinary leaf

Hello, Clarice

Threaten me and there's gonna be a dance-off

Most people consider me a legend...so yes, be impressed

Feeling cute, might roll some poo later

I'm watching you...probably

I'm a late bloomer

I love to eat the trunk of the tree...get it?

Other flying insects had better bow down...or be eaten

Watch out cats and dogs, I'm the new favorite pet

I'm the sweetest bee...unless you threaten my queen

I hunt without mercy, and that includes apples

I coined the term "praying mantis"

The true King of Sting

Mess with my colony and you're playing with fire

I light up the night...so don't squish me

I'm the fire in the sky...at least for mosquitos

I feel the need...the need for speed

Confuse me for an Earwig and I'll both pinch and bite you

It's hip to be square

Life always finds a way

Your roar wouldn't be that loud either if you were my size

Even the Ghostbusters can't stop me

Fluorescent blue is the new black

I'm big, but giant is a bit much, isn't it?

I'll eat your guava and your guano

Fee fi fo fum, I smell the blood of...mosquitos

I challenge you to a duel...for a month

Sports fans, let me show you how it's done

A gentle giant...sort of

Spying on bats and looking good, all at the same time

Alligators are overrated, it's me you should fear

Show some respect for your elders

It's neck and neck in my neck of the woods

I'm more dragon than fly

Just try to break through my web, I dare you

All that glitters isn't gold...so don't make me into jewelry

I'm so pretty people overlook my bad behavior

Spare a protein shake, bro?

Pretty colors and pretty annoyed by petting

Gluten free? Not me

Got any leaves to spare?

Come any closer, and I'll spray you

What's so bad about burying your head in the sand?

You can't see me if I don't move

Unstoppable as long as no salt and vinegar chips are around

Not venomous, just good at spreading rumors

Official ladybug of Sleepy Hollow

I can't afford a beach house so I'll overwinter in your shed

My horn can pierce the sky

Who doesn't like an attractively plated meal?

I wish they made hiking boots in my size

I'll be back...if you'd just stop polluting

Your after-Thanksgiving bulge has nothing on my gut

I'm not really a pest, I just need to mercilessly drink your blood

An even worse house guest than your in-laws

Anytime I'm involved it's a win-win situation

Just us birds here, am I right?

Why blend in when you can shine...and still kill

I actually rely on charm, not magic, to win over humans

A description of the bug goes here.

Spreading faster than Gangnam Style...just kidding

I don't mean to be a pest, but I can't help it

Like a grasshopper, but cuter, in my own opinion

Spreading like kudzu out here

This is a description of the bug.

Named for my hot temper...just kidding

Like a superhero, just smaller

Don't let the Walking Stick fool you, I'm the best camouflager

Turning plants into works of art one leaf at a time

Fly me to the moon

Making cockroaches cool one hiss at a time

My name should be Critical-To-Your-Food-Supply Bee

My life may be short but my impact on fishing is eternal

When I play RPGs I'm always a bard

First I spit, then I ribbit

Imitation is the sincerest form of snackery

Famous, love to travel

You only think you see me

I don't just make houses, I make art

You'll see orange before everything goes black

I'm always ready to sniff out the competition

Don't let the Leaf Insect fool you, I'm the best camouflager

As snug as a bug in a...leaf

A better potter than humans, and I don't even have hands

Like a Pill Bug, but with sizzle

I'll tell when spring is coming, not that overrated groundhog

I'm not after your dollars but I'm coming for your scents

A wanderer wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a mystery

Don't you dare call me a Rubber Ducky

I'm quick to throw hands...I mean horns

You won't think I'm cute after I'm done with you

Don't tell the other Isopods I'm not really a Panda...or a King

Named for my color, not my taste, so don't even think about it

Now you see me, now you see...a tree

There's nothing ghostly about my beauty

You've never met a squatter like me

See you again in 17 years

I'm literally a work of art

I'm pretty in pink...until I get my forelegs on you

Pink will be the last thing your pests ever see

This is a description of a really cool bug.

I should have been named the Polka Dotted Pirate Weevil

The librarians' best friend and no friend to literal bookworms

God save the Queen

Don't taste the rainbow

I have the fashion sense of a ladybug

I look better than I taste

While I eat trees, you eat...me

We can paper mache, just let me throw it up first

Adored by collectors, hated by trees

The appetite of a tiger, in Isopod size

Try to pet me and I'll put you on the ground

I challenge you to a cage match

It's do or die time

I'm not just big, I'm well rounded too

I don't bark or meow but I'm a good pet

You talkin' to me, punk?

Follow me for more tips on how to be adorable

I'm not embarrassed, my cheeks are always this pink

Is anyone else a bit parched here?

Rub a dub dub, don't put me in your tub

Don't let my beauty fool you, I still bite

One butterfly to rule them all

I crave sunlight...and mosquitos

No Cape Cod on the water for me, but I'll take a nice rock

Gardeners should pay me to hang around

Real spiders use water, not webs

I'll eat whatever your garden has...except your vegetables

Nothing so romantic as a cold, rainy day

Beauty is in the "eyespot" of the beholder

Bright colors, and an even brighter personality

You like pumpkins at Halloween? You're welcome

The thunder from down under, at least for aphids

Eat your heart out Frank Lloyd Wright

Sweat when you see me coming...pretty please

I'm a Swiftie from way back

I've got a short fuse, and you're the match

One small step for man, one giant leap for spiderkind

I am the wasp who knocks

Crazy? Yeah, crazy like a tiny invasive fox

Sometimes I'm too good at my job

Hiding in forests like an elf

My bite matches my bark...er, hiss

I'm a speed demon

Keeping up appearances for a long-dead relative

Worth is measured in spots, of course

The fungi don't think I'm a fun guy

Chewing through enemy ranks, all in a day's work

One, two, shake shake shake

I'm just gonna hang here, maybe blow in the wind for a bit

We are Swarm

No lazy larvae here

My appetite is evergreen

Like man's best friend, but a spider

Like most artists, I'm often misunderstood

Slide left, slide right, now sting

I add luxury to any tank

I smell like almonds, but I taste like death

I'm always in style
