Best insect order, go

bowelfly:

oh no how could you do this to me!

aaaaa I mean I primarily work on beetles for my research, so the natural choice would be Coleoptera for their incredible morphological and ecological diversity

(above: ant nest parasite beetles)

but we both know how insanely good neuropteran larvae are as well….

But there are so many good beasts in Hymeoptera, like dear sweet Megachile bees

or the ever-delightful Cephalotes ants

augh but i also feel the need to champion Diptera because of the general view of flies as boring nuisances 

and you know, hemipterans are cool too

but yeah, gun to my head, i gotta go with Coleoptera. can’t beat the beetles
