#Feeld has a huge cockroach problem now. I don't match with many of them, but I've just seen three or four profiles with THE EXACT SAME profile pictures, and almost the same profile text. The only thing that was changed was the instagram account to contact.

Of course, I reported them all.

@BeTheCookie
Encyclopedia Brown pulls off the face of Bugs Meany to reveal just a pile of cockroaches in a human suit.

"How did you know? Was it my name?"

"No. Cockroaches aren't Order Hemiptera, therefore not True Bugs. You weren't smart enough to get your own name right.
But real humans don't leave a trail of oothecas behind them wherever they go."

(#Boost for reach, please!)

Twice now, a cockroach with the Majestic tag tried to scam me. Majestic on #Feeld means that you are paying... though I think they have a seven-day trial... so it may be true that this person was not paying.

"She" also presented as 52yo.

The vast majority of people trying to scam me in the past did not pay and were in their 20s.

She hit me up last night. By the morning, she was "Deactivated."

#dating #scammer #cockroaches

So... again.. on #Feeld, I see this woman with picture after picture dressed in latex. I'm not into latex at all, but it really felt like she was putting on a show.

Reverse picture search...

... and she's plastered all over the internet. 😩

Reported.

BOOST THE SHIT OUT OF THIS, for visibility.

Okay, #Feeld is literally being swarmed by #cockroaches. Today I got my first cockroach who *bloody paid* for the service.

Well... actually, I cannot be sure that the person *paid*. There's a 7-day trial period for Majestic, and it is most likely that his cockroach was benefiting from that trial.

Most cockroaches don't bother with free trials, but if they are starting to do this, my feeling is the Feeld is doomed.

Cockroaches don’t care for any association with poultry or penises.

This has been published. Another girl tried to scam me but this time she did not have my dick pic.

Thanks to Magie Pearl and Marla Bishop.

I used to tell kinky people to use Feeld, but I cannot do this anymore:

just realised i haven't done a proper #introduction on here!

i'm a biologist specialising in #evolution #ecology and #behaviour, and will be starting my #phd at the university of #aberdeen this autumn, studying the evolution of #sociality in #subsocial animals, specifically #dubia #cockroaches

if i'm not posting about my specific research, i'll be posting about general #entomology, #climatescience and #climatejustice, #uk #politics, and general #welsh business

"Terminal Impala, where the #cockroaches come to die."

Someone liked me. Hmm... she's straight. 😩 Has exactly one profile picture. 😩 Has no profile text. 😩

I do a reverse image search and confirm it. Cockroach! 😩 Reported.

(Incidentally, I'm done looking for cockroaches. The reverse image search costs me time. As much as I like throwing trash away, the unpaid labor is getting to me.)

Bacteria in the genus Wolbachia are commonly found living within insects, but their presence in cockroaches has not been thoroughly explored. A new study finds Wolbachia in four of 16 cockroach species across three families, and researchers hope further study may open doors to new management methods for pest cockroach species. #entomology #insects #cockroaches #wolbachia https://entomologytoday.org/2023/06/15/wolbachia-cockroaches-new-paradigm-urban-pest-management/

#Feeld today is being invaded by #cockroaches:

* They put #Instagram handle in their profile. (Handles to other social media platforms are not allowed on Feeld *in your profile*. Generally, when someone immediately sent me to another platform, they were a #scammer.)

* They put up #pictures of porn stars, etc. You do a reverse image search and find the same picture plastered all over the place.

I've stopped counting how many I caught today.

Another day another #fake on #Feeld.

It is like finding that #cockroaches are #glamping in your #kitchen.

Or getting up on #Christmas morning only to find that the #Grinch has #stolen all the #gifts.

A reverse image search found her last profile pic plastered all over the internet.

Reported. ☕

Rosa & co have discovered that small amounts of the #pesticide fipronil slow down nearly indestructible #cockroaches and make them forget enticing scents, which could spell trouble for other #insect species like #bees

Memories of the #COVID19 impact on the supermarket #beer aisle. Cos nobody wants that crap no matter how much panic there is.

#Cockroaches may well be the only thing to survive a nuclear #apocalypse, but they'll only have #Carling to drink (and probably have better sense than to bother).
