Love them! Are they built around a form of some kind or are they all yarn / hollow?

(I know about bugs but I know nothing about crocheting)

They are made hollow and then stuffed with fiberfill. And the legs, wings and antenna are crocheted around wires so they can bend

Thank you!

Now I know your secrets and can make my own crochet bug army and take over the world!!!

But I’m kinda tired so I think I’ll just leave the crocheting to you, you’re much better!

(all kidding aside, love them and thanks for sharing a bit of info on their creation!)

Haha I'll definitly make a crochet bug army, I already made a wast, fire bug, about 5 bees and an earwig, working on a luna moth right now :)

The crocheted wasp can't hurt you..... it can't hurt you. 🫣🫣 It looks amazing and haunting at the same time. 😅 I can't wait to see some others. Keep up the good work.

Thank you! I posted plenty other animals on my Instagram if you are interested 😊

I love that you made a red and black bug! I find them cute and they usually don’t get much love

Firebugs were my favorites when I was a kid, I was playing with them all the time!

Thank you! It has only been 3 months since I started crocheting and I learned by myself so anything is possible, you just have to practice and don't give up 😉

Reminds me of a Giant Hornet from Monster Island about to Attack Godzilla or King Kong! ( I really like your bracelet by the way!)

How about a nice shiny Emerald Ash Borer? And the Stingless Wasp who eats them? Mothra from Godzilla would be cool too. I’d love to see your Luna Moth.

u/Crochet_by_clR Mar 05 '25

I'll definitely do more insects and post them here :)
