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.

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!

They don’t suck their prey, they hold it and begin to eat it like a carrot
