i find this image revolting yet morbidly fascinating, please explain what is occuring to that insect.
god I hate these fuckerstheir eggs look like fucking pokemon, for christ's sake. ?_?
>>205358OP here, I don't have a fucking clue what this spawn of Satan is.
From wikipedia:>>Giant water bugs are a popular food in Thailand.OH FUCK YOU ASIA
That's a toe-biter with its eggs attached on the back.
that's so bizarre. It's better than what I originally thought it was - some kind of parasitic thing's eggs on some unsuspecting insect. It's still quite stomach-turning though.
>>205361It's an anti-air assault bug. Those things on its back are actually tiny SAMs.
it's just like with that amazonian toad, quite adorable when you think about it.

Your Weedle evolved in Kakuna!
>>205385goddamn that's grotesque. The whole carrying hundreds of slimy squirmy young on your back is highly unappealing.
It looks so sad :(
these things eat frogs you know. They swim up to them in the water and stab them with their rostrum and suck out the juices, just like in starship troopers.
>>205360I did a search on that and got redirected to some pokemon stuff.
He looks so sad ;_;
it makes me want to gag and vomit. things like this should just not exist.
>>205362We don't eat it raw.
Do you eat them when they've got eggs like in the pictures?
i think it carries its eggs on its back... i recall reading about/seeing a cutesy anime-looking illustration of one in a nature book once...
>>206053that's right. not sure how many varieties there are..but the one in my pic is Abedus sp. the females lay the eggs on the backs of their mate.OP looks a little strange...like some are crushed or something. the ones i've seen are all rounded off at the top.

>>206128obviously has nothing to do with this thread.:P
>>206128Surinam toad, faggot.
>>206140>>206155The toad was mentioned before I posted the picture.
This thread is making quite a stir over at /b/ lulzgratz /an/, you have grossed out /b/the tables are turning
>>206168Links or it didn't happen.
What's so gross about OP pic? I personally find it heartwarming that an insect has actually evolved to be caretaker of its children.
>>206093i guess maybe some of them hatched..
