Yes, we did it - we've checked under the Internet's rug and found some bugs, insects, caterpillars, arachnids, and their kin that'll make you go 'awwww' instead of 'ewwww' upon inspecting the cute photos. But, really, who could've thought that bugs can be as cute as this? In my book, they were the lurkers of dark corners, creeping up your arm with their fragile-yet-nightmarish legs, seeing a bazillion you's with their segmented eyes destined to horror movie fame, inspecting the crevasses of your nostrils with their mandibles in your sleep. But now, the tables have turned, and out of the seedy corners and straight into the rays of sunshine do cute bugs go. Don't believe me? Well, just check out our list full of the cutest insects and bugs ever - it might change your mind, too! 

There are regular bugs doing cute bug stuff like possibly waving at you with their tiny legs (no mandibles here!), leaving adorable trails on your dewy car, or adorning your sweater like the fanciest brooch. Then there are exotic bugs so inherently charming that they were added to this list purely because they exist. We're talking about the Picasso bug, the Orchid Mantis, Red-Nose Lanternfly, and many others whose names are both really descriptive and baffling at the same time. And after all, with ten quintillion (that's nineteen zeros - 10,000,000,000,000,000,000) bugs on earth, it's a tough job to give each colorful bug an equally adorable name. 

Now, lovebugs, and those who love bugs, stretch your fingers, prepare your cutest grin and scroll down below. Even a bug-hater will find these colorful, smooth and shiny, or fluffy and soft bugs at least a tiny bit adorable, we promise! So, pick the not-so-creepy crawlies that you've treasured the most, give them your votes, and share your insights with us, wanna-be entomologists!

The Orchid Mantis

The Orchid Mantis

Beautiful specimens such as this are rare because their color makes them hard to see in the rain forest, which is why they are colored as such.
