Yes, we did it - we’ve checked under the Internet’s rug and found some interesting 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 for 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, which is full of the cutest insects and bugs ever - it might change your mind, too!
Regular bugs do 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, the Red-Nose Lanternfly, and many others whose names are both 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, shiny, or fluffy and soft bugs at least a tiny bit adorable, we promise! So, pick the not-so-creepy crawlies you’ve treasured the most, give them your votes, and share your insights with us, wanna-be entomologists!

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.

Could be a robber fly and they are harmless. Horseflies are larger and have a wider abdomen and deer flies have very dramatic markings on their wings - more like flying triangles.

I haven't seen these in years. Where I live they released thousands of something that looks like a ladybug but they're orange with lots of tiny black spots. They did it to kill off some kind of pest. Don't mess with Mother Nature. They killed off all the ladybugs.

Moths can be pretty, and there's just something cute about jumping spiders. The big eyes? The way they move? The shorter, thicker legs? The way they observe you? Probably a combination of all of those.
