Could they add a mouth and digestive system through DNA editing?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

Probably not, they're terrible at DNA editing.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 19 hours ago

This is somewhat common for various bugs.

What letter is the black blob covering?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

No idea. Maybe it isn't even a letter?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I think it's a 'q'.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Or 'ra', it's a petrol moth.

Seeing them in person is surreal, they look so amazing up close.

I came, I fucked, I came again, I died.

how do they get the energy to lay new eggs? or grow into full sized moths?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 16 hours ago

They eat nonstop and get fat as caterpillars, then spend most of their energy metamorphosing, and then the rest is for fucking and sucking

[–] [email protected] 9 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I was thinking the same thing. And you got an answer too. Cheers 🥂

They get energy from drinking the tears of Dark Souls players who have to fight it as a boss

[–] [email protected] 8 points 17 hours ago

It's too bad they didn't make the Moonlight Butterflies in the Crystal Caves hostile. Imagine the player tears after having to navigate narrow invisible walkways while dodging laser spam.

[–] [email protected] 80 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Wikipedia says they eat enough as caterpillars and do not eat as adults

Lots of egg laying?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Just a regular Sunday night, laying eggs
