Bug Nerd & Entomology Hats

Insect people come in every age, and the best of them are gently zealous. Entomologists are described as compulsively sharing arthropod facts and keeping bugs in the freezer; the standard advice for a spider in the house is a cup and a postcard, carried outside. The pedantry is real too: ladybugs and June bugs are beetles, and true bugs are the order Hemiptera. Berkeley's Pete Oboyski says he doesn't mind the word bug if you know the difference, and on iNaturalist some people take offense when every creature gets lumped in as just bugs. The r/whatsthisbug community lists 1.2 million members. These hats are for that crowd. ENTOMOLOGIST and BUG LADY are the plain badges. RESIDENT WEEVIL, SHRIMPS IS BUGS and WAIT I SEE A BUG are phrases that already sell on weevil hats, eBay dad hats and entomology shirts. I FLIP ROCKS TO SAY HI TO THE BUGS and BUG HUNTER, CATCH AND RELEASE ONLY carry the cup-and-postcard gentleness, and I FLIP ROCKS earns a second colorway. LADYBUGS ARE BEETLES AND I'M NOT LETTING IT GO is the pedant's bit, also in two colorways. Biology Nerd on this site is school biology and Beekeeper is one insect; this is the bug person's page. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Give one to the person who stops the car to move a beetle.
