But first discover your inner bug – mostly A’s
Fire ant: • You are a social bug with tons of
girlfriends. Fun loving, but at times a little irresponsible and you can be a pain to be around. The party is always at your place and your burning wit and collective intelligence makes you the life of the party. You rely on your colony for your strength and as part of the team you are invincible.
But first discover your inner bug – mostly B’s
Swallowtail butterfly: • You are noble, calm and sweet natured
with lots of admirers. You have a general love of nature and anything that keeps you in tune with the environment. You are decisive and practical and your charismatic nature shines through. People naturally look to you for guidance and you could easily become the leader of a strange cult.
But first discover your inner bug – mostly C’s
Paper wasp: • Intellectual and thorough, you love
puzzles. You have a small number of friends but they are loyal and deep thinkers too. You like order and enjoy learning, you are a category nine nerd. You have watched every single episode of the walking dead and are now watching the black and white series to check for inconsistencies.
But first discover your inner bug – mostly D’s
Bed bug: • You have lots of friends and are truly fun
loving, full of hugs and fancy free. You have a real flare for fashion and have the confidence to show it off. You love to be opinionated, but don’t always like to take time to do the research and know what you are talking about. You are well intentioned, but can be a blood-sucking parasite.
But first discover your inner bug – mostly E’s
Honey bee: • You are smart with a ferocious
exterior but soft inside. This makes you protective and altruistic, not that you’d admit it. You are closely connected to your family and close friends and you are a good communicator. Your mischievous but hard working nature makes you a fascinating person. People can’t help liking you, despite fearing you quite significantly.
