Welcome to Qurator's Mischievous Mondays!
This will be a weekly competition that we will be hosting every Monday. We want to see a little more engagement and fun when it comes to some of our competitions so this will be a simpler and shorter competition. Easy to enter, but maybe not so easy to win. ;) This competition will be similar to the Monday Missions we had a long time ago, but instead of writing posts to enter we will now consider only the comments and answers on this blog as your entry to win.
Why Mischievous?
We all could use a little fun in our lives. We would even say that we deserve it, let loose a little and have a go at making everyone laugh or think a little, even if it is a little over the top or pure silliness. Go all out and let your creative juices flow.

My prompt response:
If I had to come back to this earth to live again as an insect, I would be a particular kind of honeybee: a winter bee, born in the late summer or early fall, and living (if all goes well) into the following spring. Honeybees born in the spring generally live only a few weeks -- they are literally made to take advantage of spring's new blooms and are not made solidly enough to withstand cold snaps and the like. The queen takes what is called a brood break in the summer, and then, while resources are high, lays bees that are more stout and have the body fat reserves to be able to help the hive stay warm through the winter and then do the critical very early foraging in the spring before the spring bees are mature enough to take over. Winter bees born in the summer can live as long as nine months, versus six to eight weeks for their younger spring bee sisters!
I am a winter bee by inclination -- born in the winter as a human, and sharing my father's large body type. My body converts fat to muscle with the quickness, so losing weight is doable but extra hard -- I have a winter bee's build! I also have a habit of long-term consistency in spite of circumstances (been through two "winters" here on Hive and its predecessor), and longevity is my genetic legacy (of course, I have to honor that by taking care of myself). I also don't need the excitement of flitting around but am perfectly happy doing the things necessary to keep life going well for the elders of the family and for me in quiet ... Covid-19 was basically time for me to be sure about that about myself. That was a long winter in the hive, and COLD, and DEADLY ... and yet I feel I have come out stronger for it, with stronger relationships with the people that I love and serve.
But here is the main thing: the winter bee who makes it to be a forager in the spring passes on the way I would also like to pass on. Winter deaths for winter bees are not awful either -- one sleep too deep on a night too cold -- but in the spring, the option of gently passing away on a fine spring day, perhaps surrounded by the scent of the spring's first blooms, or somewhere landed in a beam of sunlight -- winter bees die after having done all they can in a full life that enables their colony to survive, in the beauty of the spring they help their colony see. I don't know if they have that perspective about their lives, of course, but I do, and I appreciate winter bees for their longevity in service. So, if I had to be born again on this earth as an insect, I would choose to live and die as a winter bee.
Agradecida con el equipo de @qurator por el apoyo brindado!
Felicidades a todos los ganadores!
Well, if I'm going to be an insect, than I don't want to be an insect that scares people or that people will try to kill on sight. The obvious choice: butterfly!
The hard part is deciding on my wing pattern...
If after death I get a chance to live again and I must become an insect in this second life then I would love to be a butterfly.
One of the reasons for this is that the butterfly looks very beautiful to me.
Another reason is that I like flowers very much and butterflies sit on different kinds of beautiful flowers. When I get very tired due to too much office work Or when I suffer from mental stress, then I go from office to home through a flower garden called "Jasmine Garden". I sit in this garden for a while, looking at different kinds of beautiful flowers, which refresh my mind and body.
Besides, I love to spend my time in natural beauty. Lush plants, peace, and birds everywhere. The butterfly flies between all these things all day long. So I want to be a butterfly and enjoy this natural beauty.
I am very happy on the selection of the third prize. I will try to entertain the community in more better way.
If I had to be an insect in my next life, I would choose to be born a dragonfly.
I want to be a dragonfly because it is one of the fastest insects and has a long life span, they can live between 6 months and 7 years, they also have excellent eyesight and that is what I long for as a human right now.
This animal does not sting humans and helps in pest control such as flies, I know that humans admire their beauty and that is why I want to thank them in this way, they are an insect with its own light because of the characteristic of bioluminescence. The dragonfly has many qualities that it takes advantage of for its existence, it is capable of receiving love from a male and the whole process of courtship is beautiful.
