  I wonder why this one’s antennae are curled. Most pictures show them straight.

  Tim Burton is the most Glowworm Beetle director I’ve ever seen.

    As I said in another reply, two words… threadbare merkin.

      Threadbare Merkin would be an excellent band name!

    I opened expecting something else, not going to lie. But it’s a nice little bug.

  …that thumbnail was very misleading

  source

  • psud@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I’m failing to see whatever it is you see, though I clicked through to the full size picture before looking at the thumbnail, so my view of the thumbnail was influenced by having seen the full size picture

      I don’t have thumbnails set on my phone so I only ever saw the full image. That said, I looked at it without my glasses with my arm outstretched and I’m going to guess they saw either buttcrack or titcleft

  why does it have curly tim burton antennae?

  source

  • SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Increased surface area. Only male glowworms metamorphose into adult forms and they use their feathery antennae to track females down by their pheromones. Increased antenna surface area helps them pick up those pheromones.

  More specifically - this is the most Helena Bonham Carter in a Tim Burton movie… etc
