Some context
Jesus fuck
Don’t worry. “God made them this way”.
Who loves all his creations.
Apparently some more than others, but the caterpillar just needs to have faith in a higher purpose.
Darwin disagrees.

Parasitic wasps that ate caterpillars from the inside out were one of the main reasons for Darwin to become increasingly skeptical of religion.
I love the part where there’s a virus that some wasps carry and inject with the eggs that suppresses the host’s immune response
Jesus always finds a way
That’s the worst thing I’ve seen all month
I just watched that video of the white cabbage larva with the smaller larvae exiting its body. Jeez, it’s still alive after THAT? Life’s rich pageant, I guess.
Oh that’s dark.
If that’s a tomato horn worm, I’m on the wasps side…
Hornworms are a delicious treat for any lizard large enough to eat them. Bearded dragons seem to love them. If you catch them and put them into a container with a food/water source anyone with a pet like that will happily pay you for them.
They also make a good first pet for kids because they’re cheap and die fast anyways
The worms or the kids?
Yes.
Fuck wasps
holy guacamole. The Lottery vibe
