Man got to tell himself he understand."
Moth just fucks
Seriously cursed species we are.
So they just... f*ck off and die.
if I were this fabulous I also wouldn't waste precious time eating or shitting when i could be fucking.
Hooman: What is the purpose of life???
Luna moth: You stupid mammal
how do they get the energy to lay new eggs? or grow into full sized moths?
Wikipedia says they eat enough as caterpillars and do not eat as adults
Can relate: Got really fat during my 20s and now I'm losing it all π
im on the same exact journey, 31 now and 50 lbs down since may
Keep going πͺ You're doing great.
hell yeah, feeling great! we'll get there!
Lots of egg laying?
Just a regular Sunday night, laying eggs
With the boys
We're duck brothers we don't lay eggs
They eat nonstop and get fat as caterpillars, then spend most of their energy metamorphosing, and then the rest is for fucking and sucking
They get energy from drinking the tears of Dark Souls players who have to fight it as a boss
It's too bad they didn't make the Moonlight Butterflies in the Crystal Caves hostile. Imagine the player tears after having to navigate narrow invisible walkways while dodging laser spam.
I was thinking the same thing. And you got an answer too. Cheers π₯

What letter is the black blob covering?
No idea. Maybe it isn't even a letter?
I bet it's a tiny hieroglyph of a penis.
I think it's a 'q'.
Or 'ra', it's a petrol moth.
So say we all!
This is somewhat common for various bugs.
I came, I fucked, I died.
I came, I fucked, I came again, I died.
Relatable
fuck
Seeing them in person is surreal, they look so amazing up close.
Aren't cicadas the same?
Lots of metamorphic bugs do this. Even the ones that eat as adults often die that same year, after 3-20 years as a larva.
