Hooman: What is the purpose of life???

Luna moth: You stupid mammal

What letter is the black blob covering?

[-] TechieDamien@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 hours ago

No idea. Maybe it isn't even a letter?

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 18 points 21 hours ago

Or 'ra', it's a petrol moth.

So say we all!

how do they get the energy to lay new eggs? or grow into full sized moths?

[-] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 17 hours ago

They eat nonstop and get fat as caterpillars, then spend most of their energy metamorphosing, and then the rest is for fucking and sucking

[-] alteredEnvoy@sopuli.xyz 80 points 1 day ago

Wikipedia says they eat enough as caterpillars and do not eat as adults

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 53 points 23 hours ago

Can relate: Got really fat during my 20s and now I'm losing it all ๐Ÿ‘

[-] sean@lemmy.wtf 2 points 6 hours ago

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Keep going ๐Ÿ’ช You're doing great.

[-] sean@lemmy.wtf 1 points 6 hours ago

Just a regular Sunday night, laying eggs

With the boys

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 28 points 22 hours ago

They get energy from drinking the tears of Dark Souls players who have to fight it as a boss

[-] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago

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.

[-] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 9 points 20 hours ago

I was thinking the same thing. And you got an answer too. Cheers ๐Ÿฅ‚

This is somewhat common for various bugs.

I came, I fucked, I came again, I died.

Could they add a mouth and digestive system through DNA editing?

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago

Probably not, they're terrible at DNA editing.

[-] HorreC@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

Seeing them in person is surreal, they look so amazing up close.

[-] brlemworld@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago
[-] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 7 points 19 hours ago

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.
