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.

    What are these?

    These little white bugs are EVERYWHERE in my beetle bucket. I have no clue what they are. Any ideas? Should I be worried?
