A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
I don't know much about mimicry, but I'm pretty sure the point of praying barbie's outfit is, that butterflies and bees also love her.
At least they do initially.
C'mon. Look at her. Who wouldn't want to be sucked dry by her?
Actually... Do they do that? Or is that just spiders?
Anyway, I'm sure that their lovemaking involves giving head.
They don't suck their prey, they hold it and begin to eat it like a carrot
Iirc they use their spiny legs to hold and rip and they don't just suck them dry, but I'm not sure how much chitin is usually consumed vs wasted and I'm far from an expert, I just think they're neat!
