Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for April 26, 2022

These are great, especially the dust mite.

To go along, a June bug that takes a vacation in December?

Is the dust mite really a rebel? It looks like he likes to dust.

That inchworm is not technically a real worm either. If it was actually an inch long, you could call it a 2.54 centimeter caterpillar.

Tapeworm that uses glue.

this ticks me off

How about a flea that won’t leave…my dog has many of these.

Carpenter Ant that uses a contractor.

The fly drives for Uber.

Sow bug that’s actually a bit of a boar.

Grasshopper who prefers to stroll through meadows.

I think some of these were in the comments the last time Mark did something like this.

A grasshopper that walks, a lightening bug that dims his glow, and an ant who goes on strike….

Technically, fleas (which can’t fly) are considered flies.

Bed bug with insomnia.

Stink bug that uses deodorant!

First I mistook the carseat for a spider web.

A praying mantis that’s an atheist. A thousand-legged bug that only has 999 legs. A German cockroach from Romania.

Walking stick that sits and refuses to move.

centipede that pays in dollars…

butterfly that loves margarine?

Standards for the exact length of an inch have varied in the past, but since the adoption of the international yard during the 1950s and 1960s it has been based on the metric system and defined as exactly 25.4 mm.

Damselfly that’s a knight in shining armor (not in distress).
