This is the whole “gluten is poison” (for people not actually intolerant to gluten) all over again. Those people also had no idea that it was just wheat protein.
Yeah, fair. Maybe it’s just like that lizard that squirts blood out of its eyes and predators just go “EESH WTF”
It’s possible. Seems like it would at least change visibility to predators though. Or make it harder for the caterpillar to hide. Interesting!
That doesn’t make sense, caterpillars don’t mate. So why have a display like this? Or does this scare off predators somehow?
So horrible. In the 15 years I’ve had cats, I always, ALWAYS check. Better to check a thousand times without need, than to live with that regret.
God, I knew someone who accidentally killed a kitten this way, and the guilt really ruined their mental health.
