So in a picture of some really cool bugs placed on a photo of a hand against a background, my guy thinks the photo of a hand is the coolest thing. Dude’s dodging the whole point of the picture like Neo dodging bullets.

Is this the first time you’ve ever been exposed to humor?

They're joking that it's a bug emulating the look of a hand, like the other bugs emulate leaves and such.

I wonder if the leaf-imitating insects ever get other herbivorous things trying to munch them.

Interesting they're called Stuart Brian, I knew a Stuart Biron.

The original picture is obviously super cool, but of course the hand is just a hand. The caption says none of them are leaves, not all are insects.

Yeah, no idea why I felt the need to correct this

You're not the only one who felt the need. Thanks for doing it for the rest of us.
