They get even cooler. When they’re larva they straight up vomit at predators.
As defense mechanisms, larvae emit clicks as a warning and can also regurgitate intestinal contents, confirmed as having a deterrent effect on a variety of predators
So they just… f*ck off and die.
“Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly;
Man got to sit and wonder ‘why, why, why?’
Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land;
Man got to tell himself he understand."Moth just fucks
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
What letter is the black blob covering?
No idea. Maybe it isn’t even a letter?
I think it’s a ‘q’.
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?
They eat nonstop and get fat as caterpillars, then spend most of their energy metamorphosing, and then the rest is for fucking and sucking
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 👍
im on the same exact journey, 31 now and 50 lbs down since may
Keep going 💪 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 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 🥂

This is somewhat common for various bugs.
I came, I fucked, I died.
I came, I fucked, I came again, I died.
fuck
Relatable
Could they add a mouth and digestive system through DNA editing?
They do have a mouth, but it’s like our appendix. It doesn’t do anything.
Ok. Still could use some crisper magic to give it some sustenance for a longer life
And then it takes over the world, Sam. Is that what you want to happen?
There are billions of uglier things we could be subjects to
Probably not, they’re terrible at DNA editing.
Seeing them in person is surreal, they look so amazing up close.
Aren’t cicadas the same?
No, these are moths.
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.
