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
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 🥂

I came, I fucked, I died.
I came, I fucked, I came again, I died.
fuck
Could they add a mouth and digestive system through DNA editing?
Probably not, they're terrible at DNA editing.
Relatable
Seeing them in person is surreal, they look so amazing up close.
Aren't cicadas the same?
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.
