Amg when I was just randomly clicking, this came up and I'm like "WAA. WHAT IS THAT?". Needless to say, I was quite uhm... intimidated by it. I'm also curious about insects having hair. The look like werewolves, but they're insects.
That is some insane clarity.Β

I know. Those are super visible and they irritate the eyes, skin and the lungs. But like usually I don't see hairs on any insects (like ants). So yea. It was pretty freaky xD
