Dear /an/,Lay my nightmares to rest and tell me what the dickens this abomination is meant to be?
Your' new god.
Oh' dear.
A bug with an infection.
And I, for one, welcome our new dickbackcrab overlords.
male giant waterbug (Belostomatidae) carrying eggs on its back.
With this gift of source I've been able to behold more photos, and i'm still not okay with this thing.
Dawww, they're so tiny!
>>304977I felt a small part of my scalp crawl off my head because of that...
>>304977tiny kakuna!
>male giant waterbug (Belostomatidae) carrying eggs on its back.malefeminist favorite bug
>>304964so that's why OP bug looks so sad
>>304977That picture is not acceptable.
>>304956CRAWLIN IN MY SKINNNNNNNNNNNNNTHESE EGGS THEY WILL NOT COME OFF OH MY GOD THEY'RE HATCHING OH MY GOD OH MY GOD MYGODMYGODMYGODGETTHEMOFFFFF.
>>304991Welcome to the phylum of arthropods, where females are bigger, stronger and more important than males in a huge number of species.
KILL IT WITH FUCKING FIRE!
>>304991He's a single father :(>>305053aren't there a few species with manly men bugs, though? I thought male stag beetles and stuff were bigger than females because they have to fight each other and prove they're the biggest and strongest, just like real men.
>>305341I didn't say all, but many (especially in comparison with vertebrates).Just take a look at e.g. spiders, matises, butterflies/moths, stick insects, ants, bees.
>>304956anybody else just feel like biting the top of that insect? just go a get a big chunk out of those eggs with your front teeth
>>305418I want to do something to it, but I'm confused as to what. I'm grinding my teeth looking at it...Oh wait, I want to squeeze the eggs like a bulb of roasted garlic.
>>305418> anybody else just feel like scraping the top of that insect off with a knife?
>>305434I DO.
As a kid was really into entomology, but that guy always kind of scared me and I had a dream where touching the eggs somehow burnt my hand all up.
>>305418What? No. What is wrong with you?
now what is this?
