Convergent evolution has got to be the coolest shit in biology, it's ceaselessly fascinating
but also evolution can be fucking horrifying: barnacles are crustaceans, slice them in half and you see a twisted gross crablike thing inside the shell.
Also like shrimp to fairies
And lobsters are scorpion mermaids.
While nobody is looking Hummingbird Moth is making a speed run to crab.
i want to live in a world where all insects ended up fluffy and cute like these moths and bumblebees are.
Be careful of the monkey's paw.
Is it us, or *it* that's messed up?
Bee of the Bird of the Moth.
Remember to move hornworms to your non-production/trap tomatoes to see more of them!
I wonder how they taste sautéed in butter and garlic…
