Humans
We're all living and dying in our own fig, it's just bigger and less sweet
>>5098012Woah
when you nut so hard you die
>>5098012this
>>5097985this but it's actually me
>>5097966>males must fug their sisters as fetuses in their wombs (galls)>digs for everyone's freedom from the accursed ungodly cycle, only to always die before doing so>the cycle continuesGod's cursed fruit for certain
>>5097966so there's no way to eat figs without eating a bunch of wasps along with it?
>>5097966What benefit does the fig get from such a retarded cycle?
>>5098037Most varieties of figs that we eat don't need wasps for pollination, and the ones that do break down the wasp via enzymes
>>5098040pollination
nature sure is tasty huh
>>5097966>why it sucks to be born as a fig wasp
>>5097966No contest. Any Pieris brassicae caterpillar that lives near a white butterfly parasite. Real world chestburster victim.https://youtu.be/YYJpNLWlp8U?si=96QYCdg1qydNILnh
>>5098193Oh and forgot, if the caterpillar survives this, it defends the wasp babies to the death. Imagine if the victims in the Alien movies also became cucks.
>>5098040This is literally the only way (wild) figs reproduceYou could make the scientifically valid claim that the wasps are the figs' sex organs.

>>5098193that'll teach them to ruin my broccoli
Male anglerfish
Evolution thought that Strepsiptera females remaining in an immature, eye- and legless state, attached to a host organism while their ass sticks out for a passing male to fertilise, was a good idea.I'm honestly surprised there aren't any human strepsiptera doujin
>>5098386>tags: ctf
>>5097966I can't remember exactly what it was (90% sure it was some kind of insect that parasitizes plants, like an aphid or thrips species) but from what I recall of it:>female is pregnant>brood consists of one male and five(?) females>male impregnates its sisters while all are still inside the mother>females then burrow out of the mother, who dies as a result>male has no mouthparts and starves to death>cycle repeatsnature's greatest mistake
>>5098439Adactylidium?
>>5098462Yeah, that's the one
>>5098439>impregnating 5 loli imoutos before birthHoly based
>>5098012sad but true.
>>5097966>my fig newtons are the product of millennia of wasp incestyummy
>>5098428
>>5097966any animal owned by an american
>>5098965Rent free lmao.A recent thread was about torture rings in Europe, and we all know about the Chinese dog torture videos.
>>5097966worse in what way? the wasp doesn't have any qualms about it's existence. your life is worse.
>>5098193>White Butterfly Parasites are in turn parasitized by the hyperparasite wasps Lysibia nana and Gelis agilis.Mr. Bones...let me off
>>5098428>stuck with their ass outMore like stepsistera haha am i right
>>5097966How the hell are these things not horribly inbred?
>>5097966>>5098428Icerya purchasi is trying to become a female-only asexual species, where the female can produce her own sperm, but males can still form occasionally. The lone males will seek out females and contaminate their girlsemen reservoir with his own semen, impregnating all of his daughters and propagating the last line of males.>>5100625Invertebrates are very resistant to inbreeding and have multiple strategies to counter it. In the case of these wasps, I think the answer is that the males have only a single chromosome, so any bad genes are always expressed and they generally die instantly. They can't hide genetic diseases through unexpressed faulty copies.

>>5100559Sorry bro, it's parasites all the way down
>>5100559>Big fleas have little fleas>upon their backs to bite 'em;>little fleas have littler fleas,>and so on, ad infinitium
>>5098012Damn. Truke
>>5097966Seems like a pretty sweet deal for both the fig and the wasps though.
