I wish the quality of this pic weren’t so awful
Man, caterpillar heaven looks pretty rad.
Some people made this a lifestyle
Pretty normal lifestyle for many lifeforms.
So…ok, I’m missing something, then. How does the population get energy into the system, then? They don’t photosynthesize, somebody has to eat SOMEthing at SOME point, or they won’t have any energy at all for…activities.
The caterpillar stage. Wikipedia says that’s 6-7 weeks long.
Become alive. Eat until I literally dissolve into goo. Become alive again. Fuck. Die.
Energy is from fat stores created while a caterpillar.
Oh that makes so much sense. I completely forgot about metamorphosis.
I was in the same boat, thank you for asking my first thought as well xD
GOD dammit I almost forgot about 177013
I googled it. They have energy stored from when they were caterpillars.
I hear they gather the energy during the caterpillar stage.
Also see: mayfly
Also getting combined with glowshrooms for invisibility potions
Think I killed one of these in Dark Souls

Got a cool magic spear from it, too
What happens if we put them on IV? How long will they last? Will they go full Mr. Meeseeks? What are you doing over there, scientist?! We need answers!
They will just mate nonstop
pretty much all moths, right?
if they don’t eat, where do they get the energy to create offspring?
The larvae is where they do nothing but eat and grow and eat some more. Then they turn into flying sex organs.
Good question, it all actually comes from the great predecessor moth who imbued its children with the energy needed to carry on for generations. This singular imbuement of life has carried them for the last four thousand years, and it is unknown when it will run out. When that time comes, the Luna moth will be no more.
Almost bit the onion. For those looking for the real answer: they eat and gather energy reserves when they’re a caterpillar. As a moth their only purpose is indeed reproduction so they use up those reserves.
Also from cum
“The bursa copulatrix receives, stores, and digests the spermatophore and other substances transferred by the male during copulation,”
Stored from being a larvae i guess.
Hey look it’s me, not eating because depressed but also doing the very healthy thing of engaging in too many dating apps to find sex…
Has anyone bothered to ask if it has other interests?
same tbh
His name is Buck
Mrw butterflies don’t have toes
Every time my step-MIL visits, she feels the need to gush about my coffee. And this is my face every time. All I can think of is the scene:
Jimmie: Knock it off, Jules.
Jules: What?
Jimmie: I don’t need you to tell me how ****ing good my coffee is, okay? I’m the one who buys it, I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping, she buys shit. Me, I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it, I want to taste it. But you know what’s on my mind right now? It ain’t the coffee in my kitchen, it’s the dead **** in my garage.
