The subreddit for cute pictures of bugs, lobsters, squid, and other non-Vertebrata.

Because they're adorable too.

For adorable invertebrates.

This is a no-nope zone. No "kill it with fire" here.

All adorable invertebrates welcome from all taxa (except Vertebrata)! If you want to post a cute invertebrate, posting a link to a Wikipedia article in a comment or posting a paragraph about the animal is highly encouraged, and if you can find its scientific name, it is not required, but encouraged to put it in the title. Also, give credit to the original photographer/source where available.

Every Wednesday is Watery Wednesday - for aquatic invertebrates.

Sharing your cute invertebrate-related artwork is fine, but please do not link to shop sites or advertise items for sale.

    I am now the unsuspecting owner of two hissers. Whats some good enrichment stuff for these lil ladies. And favorite treats? I have named them Laverne and Shirley. (Pictured below eating what’s left of my T bone steak cause that’s all I had for them other that baby carrots.) They’re just chillin rn.

    2025 Isopod Photography Calendar

    I’m a hobbyist macro photographer with a special interest in isopods. Few people in the community suggested I should create a calendar so I put together this website to gather interest - it will feature 12 of my favourite photos which I’ve taken featuring a different species each month. Check it out if it sounds like something you’d enjoy :) thanks 2025 isopod calendar

    So I got these at petco as a snack for my chickens but even my biggest rooster couldn’t take them on. I’m now housing them. They were sold as “Giant Islander Roaches” but a species identification and some basic necessities would help. For now they have a shallow water dish and some table scraps.

    Digger wasp interrupted

    I accidently interrupted this wasp dragging a grub nearly twice it's size across a path. It flew to the side dropping the grub but came back, landed near me and paused... tilted it's head, inquisitively, up at me then back towards the grub on the ground. I tossed the grub closer to the wasp and like a puppy dog, it ambled up, gripped it's meal and happily carried it away. (I wish I got a video but was, simultaneously, educating someone about it). The intelligence and cuteness of these creatures is too much!

    Baby Praying Mantis!

    Little one was on my pants and then hopped onto my car door area and helped get them down safely. So tiny! Never seen a baby before! Legendary find.
