Sweet girl kisses, and hope I stay on their good side. Plus they kinda look like flying sports bikes.

Outside, against the wall, alone. At least that's where I sat in high school. So, maybe with the wasps?
I'd be at the oddball table with the roly poly, millipede & dragonfly...

Mantids. I just think they're neat!
Bees or moth, chance of dying is significantly smaller compare to the rest of the group.
Mantises. I love those things. We like to find them in the garden and sometimes pick them up and let them crawl all over us.
As a person from a sensible country without praying mantis running freely around outside in nature, this has very much changed my opinion on them!
Truly they're not scary in person. They're very gentle when they crawl on you. They're very good at camouflaging in bushes, so it's a fun activity to look for them.
Where's the lightning bug table?
No spood lovers in here?! I could watch those Darth Maul lookin' mofos all day long.
Also love the joros 'cause they eat that which I despise the most: the brown marmorated stink bug.
Spider gang, no doubt
But next to the jumping spiders, they're the only ones who can hold a good conversation and maintain proper directed eye contact.
Arachnophilic freak
On the floor
Bees, beetles and moths are fine (wasps are much less so btw), and spiders catch flies and mosquitoes, so yes them too.
i don't think one table is going to be enough for the beetles
In the Control Center, making sure to nuke them from space. I know these are all statistically not aggressive, but I just can't shake the instinctive impulse to eradicate them...
Covered in bees! Hopefully Eddie Izzard will show up and tell some jokes.
Moth crew represent!
Wasn't there some famous scientist who said, if God exists, he sure loves beetles?
