I suppose I have had a bit more free time on my hands than usual of late, so amidst the inevitable musings which often accompany such lulls in activity I thought it might be an interesting idea to share some insect related jokes that I have come up with. Most are merely bad puns and none are expected to elicit more than a chuckle from those who read them. Odds are they will garner far more groans than laughs anyway. Please share your favorite insect jokes (be they original or otherwise) as well.
Q: What do you get when you cross an ant with a fish?
A: A Myrmid.
Q: Which insect order was named after a holiday that celebrates a man- reptile hybrid?
A: Man-Toad-Day.
Q: What do you get when you cross a wild cat with a butterfly?
A: Leopard-optera.
Q: What order of insects chews tobacco?
A: DIP-ptera.
What do you think? Are they funny, or just plain sad? Maybe both?

Q: Which insect order was named after a holiday that celebrates a man- reptile hybrid? A: Man-Toad-Day. Since when was a toad a reptile? I always thought it was an amphibian. Looks like this thread might o-pun a can of worms :-) Adam. |

Oh my. I think you're be right. I had googled it just to check before I posted that one. First thing I saw said they were reptiles. Looking pas that though, it would appear that the first one I read was a lie!(LOL) Oh well. Here's another joke for you all!
Q: How many moths does it take to change a light-bulb?
A: One, though no one is really sure why he showed up at the light in the first place.

Q: How many flies does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Two
The real question is how did they get in there?

A man is collecting on another's property. Just as the annoyed owner runs out a large black and white Danaiinine butterfly floats past and is caught by the collector. The irate owner shouts "Hey, What's the big idea?" to which the collector answers "Looks like leuconoe"! ;D

A blind man offers to sell an insect collector a rare birdwing butterfly.
The collector refuses.
"Why not?" inquires the blind man.
Because it is obviouse that you've lost your CITES!

Two pseudoscorpions tried to mate, but one was gay and the other one was really a longhorn beetle in disguise.
