So you’re a termite?
“…uhhh totally.”
What do we like to eat?
“Stuff and wood and junk.”
Okay good enough.This is some Pokemon shit.
Pokemon is really just some real animal kingdom shit.
And not even like…“but cuter!”. Japan has some insanely cute critters.
I present exhibit A:
Oh… we were supposed to drop our evidence? Very well…
Shima Enaga (long tailed bushtit / snowfairy)
Rosefinch
Tanuki
Fire bellied newt
Their honey bee
and for the weirdos… the murder hornet… ( i wouldn’t call these fuckers cute, but I’m sure somebody does. Their moms, maybe.)
Far from exhaustive, but eh, these are my favorite Pokémon. (Okay so murder hornets are ugly, but they’re murderous!)
long tailed bushtit
So this is what perfection sounds like
the various common names of birds have convinced me that ornithologists are mostly horny perverts that have spent too much time alone in the woods.
where are there honey bees that don’t look like that?
also might want to scale the hornet image down, that could share the shit out of someone
Sorry, this might freak you out
But those fuckers are freaking huge.
Tanuki is Zigzagoon! Right? It’s gotta be.
Thank you! never saw something of these and now my life is changed for the better.
I immediately thought of mimikyu!
Just a fellow creature. Nothing suspicious here. snacks please.
… And it was at that moment that I realized he was a three story tall monster from the Paleolithic era!
FUCK OFF NESSIE
I think we have one of those in the Office of President of the United States of America
It’s wild that the benefits of this outweigh the cost of making it enough to stick around.
“You get free food for life but you gotta wear this giant yellow foam cowboy hat and never take it off. Even to shower”
The wild thing is: These are hundreds of mutations of several generations that happened randomly until it looked like this.
I want to know how it even started. Like, what was its equivalent of a half eye so that the termites would start feeding it?
Disguise skill level: Agent 47
Getting Vincent Adultman vibes.
How do you do fellow termites?
wonder if I could seduce your mom that way
You have to grow either a vodka bottle or a crack pipe puppet to seduce mine.
how about a vodkipe cottlerack puppet?
says a lot of how insects identify each other
Yes, that’s what I wondered, too. In ant nest parasites they usually are visually very different from the ants, but get the pheromones right. In this example here, visual clues have to be important for the beetle to have evolved such a sophisticated mimicry.
That’s what happens if you only have access to a handful of brain cells.
my mom has some of those
As evidenced by homo sapiens
That must have been such a wild evolutionary arms race. I wonder how it even began.
What do you mean? We’re watching it happen in real time right now with people; vtubers learned to put on costumes of animals, insects or even mythical creatures to get weird internet losers to give them money to feed themselves.
You also have that giant cockroach that learned to put on a human skin called asmongold to get people to subscribe to its twitch channel.
I’m not saying I’ve never covered myself in feathers and sat naked in a tree waiting for birds to feed me. I’m not perfect, no one is, we’re all on a journey of learning and improving. Growing a termite on your back just seems like it’d take so long before it would trick the termites.
That’s so freaking cool
Must be desperate. Imagine the millions of dead bugs trying to get fed by termites. One after the other failing to be a convincing termite. Until finally the perfect one was born.
