        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.

      I salute our boys and blue and the sky wizard who benevolently grants cancers to our children. Blessed be.

      All I Know Is That I Must Kill is Image of a Russian OMSN MVD RF servicemember wearing a Maska SCh1 helmet. It is most common used either sincerely or ironically about gamers and their attitudes to games, particularly first-person shooters. It is used in a similar capacity to the Stealth is optional for this mission meme and is related to the Lord Tachanka meme as they both a similar look by wearing the Maska SCh1 helmet.

    We get tons of these lil bastards in my warehouse around this time. Why do they end up in my warehouse and why are their lives so short?

      Look for the caterpillars and cocoons. Those very hungry caterpillars are eating a lot of something, let’s see…

      “this caterpillar constantly munches on the leaves of walnut, hickory, sweetgum, and paper birch trees.”
