A winners’ podium with three insects on it; an annual cicada is standing at the top in first place, a leafhopper with red and blue stripes is standing to the left in second place, and an orange, white, and black assassin bug is standing to the right in third place. All the bugs have little medals on blue ribbons around their necks (or around what is roughly analogous to their necks); the cicada has a gold medal, the leafhopper has a silver medal, and the assassin bug has a bronze medal.

In honor of the winning bugs of the Hemipteran bug race! In first place we have the loud and proud cicada, in second we have the springy and spirited leafhopper, and in third we have the threateningly named assassin bug! Here are close-ups of the bugs with their medals!

A photo of an annual cicada, with a gold medal with a “1” on it hanging from a blue ribbon around its “neck” drawn onto the photo.

A photo of a leafhopper, with a silver medal with a “2” on it hanging from a blue ribbon around its “neck” drawn onto the photo.

A photo of an assassin bug, with a bronze medal with a “3” on it hanging from a blue ribbon around its “neck” drawn onto the photo.

Thank you to everyone who voted! ❤️❤️❤️

insects bugblr cw bugs bug race pun intended hemiptera true bugs only this one’s for all the entomology people out there I’m probably not popular enough to do this but whatever late to the meme but it’s tumblr so it’s fine I don’t actually mind people using “bugs” to mean lots of different insects and other invertebrates But people arguing that the caterpillar was the only real bug in the bug race kinda bugs me
