>>4904615God here, I made him that way because i think its funny, just like how i made you an unlovable faggot lmao.
>>4904648I knew god was a troll, fucking dickhead.
>>4904615any kind of parasitic wasps that lays its eggs into living caterpillars. Or maybe there is a god and he just has a very fucked up sense of humor, which I kinda respect in a way
>>4904615Hyenas have to give birth through a pseudo penis that they have to rip open with their teeth.
>>4904615yeah,we all watched Casualgeographic
>OwO what's this?
All those horrid sissification parasites:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitic_castration#Taxonomic_range
>>4905867That reminds me, one of those is Strepsiptera, and every single part of their lifecycle is cursed. It's not even proof that there's no god, it's proof that Satan exists and he rules the world.>the females live as maggot-like parasites inside other insects, with only their heads sticking out (pic), while the mobile males only exist to reproduce and die within hours>In all strepsipterans the male mates by rupturing the female's cuticle. Sperm passes through the opening directly into the body in a process called traumatic insemination>Strepsiptera eggs hatch inside the female, and the planidium larvae can move around freely within the female's haemocoel [blood]; this behavior is unique to these insects. The offspring consume their mother from the inside in a process known as haemocoelous viviparity. Each female produces many thousands of planidium larvae. The larvae emerge from the brood opening/canal on the female's head, which protrudes outside the host body.>When the larvae latch onto a host, they enter it by secreting enzymes that soften the cuticle, usually in the abdominal region of the host. Some species have been reported to enter the eggs of hosts. >Once inside the host, they undergo hypermetamorphosis and transform into a less-mobile, legless larval form. They induce the host to produce a bag-like structure inside which they feed and grow. This structure, made from host tissue, protects them from the immune defences of the host. Larvae go through four more instars, and in each moult the older cuticle separates but is not discarded, so multiple layers form around the larvae.>The colour and shape of the host's abdomen may be changed and the host usually becomes sterile. Females may occupy up to 90% of the abdominal volume of their hosts.
>>4905867for me it's
>>4905873Whoever made this surely loves the chaotic nature of the universe and wanted to portray it by making a disaster of a diagram.
>>4904648>I must apologize for Wimp Lo. He is an idiot. We purposely trained him wrong, as a joke.
Things like these make me care less about nature. I care about the environment for being beautiful and healthy for humans, but "letting animals live their natural wild lives" is not a particularly good thing.
>>4905870h-how does evolution become THIS specific
idk it looks like they're perfectly curling upon its skin
>>4904648>just like how i made you an unlovable faggotSo you're responsible for the influx of lgbt? No wonder people abandon their faith in you. Satan was right.
>>4905709is this a snake or one of these fishes that crawl inside your dick?
>>4905870i love animals, including insects, even strange ones, but this is fucking horrifying
>>4904648Fuckin lool
>>4907919Dick fish
>>4905870I hate nature.
>>4904648then fuck you God. Why did you make wasps and hippos so damn OP?
>>4904615IDK if this proves there's no God but it must prove his head's not on straight, at the bare minimum.
>>4908576how is this species not extinct
>>4908578Not only is it not extinct, it's actually the very last surviving member of a family of beetles that existed since THE LATE PERMIAN (aka about 255 million years ago give or take).
>>4908576Then what's the "point" of adult stage? I mean, it seems to be wasteful to go through all of that developmental cycle to create non-reproductive adult forms. I know evolution isn't strictly logical, but usually there is some order to it.>Since adults do not have a role in reproduction, they are not a physiological part of the life cycle. Thus, the rarity of adult development in the natural world may be an evolutionary response to the lack of their reproductive role. In laboratory settings, development into adults can be induced by high temperatures, but this also results in high mortality because only one out of hundreds of heat-treated larvae will survive and pupate into an adult.>The adult females live for about six days and males only live for around 12 hours, with a strongly biased sex ratio towards females. The adults of both sexes are sterile and are vestigial remnants of a time when the life cycle involved sexual reproduction. The loss of sexual reproduction is likely associated with its infection by Wolbachia bacteria.Okay, Wikipedia explains it>>4908580Crazy stuff
>>4907699billions of years of survival pressure and mutations
>>4905143>boom, headshot
>>4905873This is genuinely unreadable.
>>4904615>Göd, why have you forsaken me? Was my lust for oats too ströng?
