You want a cat sized version of this?
Nightmare fuel.
Edit: apparently that's a tiger beetle.
Much cuter from just a few inches away.
I imagine its face would get cuter. Kind of like how lions will eat you if you don't agree with me
That's also not a bee, bees don't have jaws
My bad
Yeah, I'd give those antennae ridges a good scritch.
I've bonded with a rock before, I'm sure I would give this little guy a big ol hug
I was thinking it would be terrifying. Also think about how bad bee stings hurt when they're small. I imagine a bee. The size of a cat would give you something similar to a bullet wound.
It'd be like that Futurama episode when Fry is stung by the space bee, and the singer just kinda goes through without poisoning him.
Bumblebees dont have stingers though, right ? Big puppies
Not only do bumblebees have stingers, they can sting multiple times without dying like honeybees.
