Kwekie on Nostr: My father found these insects all clumped together on the flowers of my basil plant. ...
My father found these insects all clumped together on the flowers of my basil plant. He immediately tried to catch them, and when I asked what he was planning to do with them, he said he wanted to take care of them and keep them. He genuinely thought they were a species of stingless bee.
We already have bee hives in our backyard, so he got excited at the idea of adding a new species to the collection.
But... I got a little suspicious because of the way these insects were behaving. It was kinda weird for them to clump up together... If a queen bee was there, there should be more of them in there. So, as usual, I took a photo of them and did a quick Google search.
Tantadadaaan! Turns out they weren't stingless bees at all. 🤣
They were a group of male "Bactrocera philippinensis"... or maybe "Bactrocera dorsalis". Fruit flies. Pests. 😅🤣
Imagine if I hadn't looked them up. My father would've been lovingly raising a colony of crop-destroying fruit flies instead of bees. 😂
I wonder... what insects do you find cute? or insects that you really hate with all your being?
Okay, if you are reading still reading this, congrats.
