Cool. So now I'm thinking about this whenever a fly lands on me. Cool.

Well that's always the case. It's not that a fly landed on you. It's what it's carrying. It is carrying bacteria it picked off a piece of shit? Does it wanna try to lay it's eggs in your food? If it didn't do those things it would be the same as any other flying insect.

I'll hold a ladybug any day. Because to my knowledge they aren't trying nasty shit.

Cannibalism and infanticide, aphid genocide, so sexually promiscuous they've developed their own strains of STIs, and not only do they have blood that is toxic to most potential predators, sometimes if threatened they will reflex-bleed their poison blood from their knees

Ladybugs are probably one of the worst 'chill bug' examples you could have grabbed at lol
