In a fantasy world I designed, a butterfly is one of the worst killers. Its touch is toxic, landing on any exposed skin is deadly, but in a horrible way. The victim is just paralyzed, not killed, and the butterfly returns to the victim to lay its eggs, and the larvae eat their way into the still living body...

For those of you with kids that like Peppa Pig, you can let them know sometimes butterflies drink from muddy puddles to get their minerals too ❤️

This would be a great album cover

I’ve personally witnessed butterflies cannibalizing other dead butterflies.

They get additional vitamins and minerals to supplement their diet from feces and carrion. They will barely scratch the surface.

New fear unlocked.

Also just remembered the Silence of the Lambs cover…might be a reason it was so scary.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm quite certain that it was a moth on the silence of the lambs poster and not a butterfly

[–] higgsboson@dubvee.org 3 points 23 hours ago

Yeap. Death's-head hawkmoth

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 2 points 23 hours ago

It was 28 years ago, you’re probably right.

Oh thats a good one. I never paid much attention to the butterflies on that cover.

Butterflies do not piss. They exude all of their waste water as a pure water mist.

[–] Armand1@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I thought this was a Monster Hunter screenshot

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah i thought they're carving Jyuratodus or something.

Aren't butterflies much older than flowers ?
