5 Insects That Shouldn't Exist

It is my firm belief that God does not make mistakes. Nothing catches Him by surprise and everything serves a purpose. In His infinite wisdom, He knows the purpose and design of every creature he placed on this earth.

With that disclaimer out of the way let me say what I feel from my finite human understanding. There are some creatures that have no reason to be here. Particularly, creatures of the insect variety. I know that the bug lovers are going to come for me, but I will fight all of you head on.

In this article, just know I said what I said, and I ain’t taking it back!

Although it was hard to narrow it down, here are 5 bugs that, in my not so humble opinion, shouldn’t exist.

Warning all Entomophobes! Disturbing images ahead! (my computer is probably cursed)

1. Tarantulas

The only crime these animals have committed against me is their nerve to exist with a body as terrifying as the image depicted. Not only are they huge, dangerous, and hard to kill, they have the gall to come in different colors!

And someone explain to me why they had to be furry! They’re not only huge and hideous, they’re also confused. You are not a mammal. You can’t have fur on an insect body!

Now before anyone comes in the comments actually explaining the purpose of their fur: I really don’t want to know.

Those furry legs could hold the elixir of immortality, and I would still argue that it is entirely unnecessary for their design.

Now someone has explained to me that tarantulas are great for getting rid of other bugs, but to that I say: tough tater tots! My hate is entirely irrational, and I will not apologize for it. They’re hideous and huge and that’s enough for them to earn their spot on this list regardless of their usefulness.

2. Mosquitos

Unfortunately, unlike the tarantula, I have a lot less faith in the purpose of mosquitos. Those pesky creatures really know how to ruin a lady’s day. No matter where I go, here they come with that irritating buzz and those vampire beaks (it’s called a proboscis…it even has a stupid mouth name)

What makes these creatures even more diabolical is their unnatural attraction to my ankles: Literally the worse spot to be itchy!

To add to everything (as if that wasn’t enough), I never consented to having my blood taken! So not only do they make me itchy, but they also steal my precious blood that my poor body worked so hard to produce.

Rude!

Needless to say, these flying felons have earned a spot on my hit list.

3. Lice

If you have a child in elementary or daycare you are probably all too familiar with lice. Although there are certainly more dastardly beings out there, these have a special hatred in my heart.

Rather than their looks, what I cannot stand is their attack method. Tiny but cunning, lice seek to invade the hair. After laying their eggs aka nits, they hatch, stick to the hair shaft, and procreate. This happens quickly and repeatedly like clockwork.

Now if you know me, you know I love my hair. The fact that these bugs have the audacity to find refuge in such a sacred place is exactly why they are on this list. The cruel intention to lay waste to another person’s head is devious!

And once they have claimed a head, they refuse to leave. Lice are one of the hardest bugs to get rid of since they require the victim to pick the nits out one by one and change out or clean all bedding, hair accessories, hats, and anything else that has touched the hair.

Essentially, they are easy to get and difficult to get rid of. Similar to a freeloader.

4. Bed Bugs

If lice are hard to get rid of, bed bugs are nearly impossible without professional help.

These creepy criminals are so fast and sneaky they can invade the home and infest a bed within hours. And once they get in the house, they aren’t leaving without special help.

And don’t think you can just ignore them or starve them out. In fact, these critters can live up to 18 months without food! The only thing that will kill them is alcohol and most of the time, professionals have to come in and evacuate the house to complete the killing process.

So not only did these bugs break into your house only to stay, eat, and multiply rent free; they also make you pay to get rid of them.

I hate them so much!

5. Roaches

No explanation is needed as to why these demons shouldn’t exist.

Let’s make a list. According to the Roach Expert, these bugs

Can carry 300x their weight
They can go without food for 18 dyas
They reproduce quickly and some roaches can lay pouches with dozens of eggs inside

On top of everything they can vary in size, sometimes growing to over 3 inches in length. Since they are nocturnal, they can go undetected as they proceed to spread their spawn. This is how infestations happen without the owner’s knowledge.

Also, did I mention they were disease carriers?!

And of course, I must mention that they are hideous, hideous, HIDEOUS!

Roaches are equipped to survive. How else would you have been able to survive for over 300 million years?!

I did read that roaches are important due to their role in recycling dead plants and nutrients for soil and blah blah blah. Whatever their reason for existing, there is no reason for these bugs to be this superpowered!

Furthermore, if they are so good for the environment, why do they never stay outside? I have never seen a roach in nature, unlike the other bugs on this list. Instead, I have witnessed roaches in houses, schools, and work places.

So if anything, they shouldn’t exist because they can’t follow their natural instinct to be outside. They always want to be in a building with humans and eat our food and spread diseases!

I may be able to justify every other bug on this list but not roaches. They shouldn’t exist and I will die on this hill.

Anyways, I know that my hate for these and so many other insects is irrational. I want to know you’re thoughts. Are you a bug lover or do you hate these critters just as much as I do? Let me know!

With love,
