Evolution bein lazy on this one.
You can also use their wings for invisibility potions
Waaait, I thought they would help me with my own search for mating. This explains a lot!!
How does it?
Edit: Me when caterpillars exist: 😯
Mayflies: Pathetic
Creationists: God works in mysterious ways.
I salute our boys and blue and the sky wizard who benevolently grants cancers to our children. Blessed be.
Ok where does the mass come from? It has to consume something.
Energy is from fat stores created while a caterpillar.
It gets all its mass from eating during it caterpillar stage. It loses its digestive system during metamorphosis.
That’s pretty fascinating evolutionarily. It has a metamorphosis stage literally just so it can get wings to better find a mate, fuck, and die.
I think we and our closest relatives are the weird ones. If I remember right, most species of animal can reproduce until they die, and many die after reproducing. We kinda complicated things not just by looking after our children but also their children too.
Our caterpillar stage is being socialized and learning the current culture. It’s interesting that many cultures have rites into adulthood, like a symbolic cocoon stage.
“It takes a village” is evolutionary advantageous perhaps; mixing avoids extremes.
Ah yes, from the much less frequently remembered “I have no mouth and I must fuck”
I Have No Mouth, and I Must Cream
