Are Insects Aware Of Their Own Mortality?

[Champagne Kudo]

I bugged out the other day after I watched a bee that I scooped out of the pool with a fly swatter and placed on a chair sit there and and literally dry himself off , he was rubbing the water out his eyes with his hands and and squeezing water out his wings. At that moment I looked at him as more than a bee , I looked at him as a somewhat conscious creature.

Just beautiful.

Spoiler

about 30 minutes later a bee was buzzing around me and came at me multiple times , instinctually I swatted his ass to the ground, dead. It was probably the same bee and he gave no fukks about the gentle care I took to scoop him out the first time,

This post was an emotional rollercoaster

I remember staying on the eastside and the day my neighbors moved out literally seeing over 1,000 roaches crawling all over the front porch. No exaggeration.
