What does it do with them?

Besides be all like

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 32 points 10 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] Classy@sh.itjust.works 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Here's one I photographed a year ago

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What a lovely fellow he’s waving at you :3

[–] Classy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago

He seemed very jolly. He was preening his antennae, folding them over his hands and wiping them off. Very fun to watch

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

He's gay

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Chemicals in the grass turning our fricken beetles gay!

[–] MuffinHeeler@aussie.zone 3 points 10 months ago

I'd feel happy with those on my head too

[–] boogetyboo@aussie.zone 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Might not be a live specimen

[–] doc_dish@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Or one that's just emerged from its pupa(?)

Disclaimer: I know nothing about the lifecycle of glow worms

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

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 17 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Anyone else do a double-take at that thumbnail while quickly scrolling?

...

...

Alrighty then, carry on

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

Oh good it’s not just me. I was worried I would have to bonk myself.

Anyways…bonk

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 10 months ago

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

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Threadbare Merkin would be an excellent band name!

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Just got her lashes did.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 6 points 10 months ago

It's gotta have great reception

[–] betahack@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

....that thumbnail was very misleading

[–] psud@aussie.zone 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] oce@jlai.lu 4 points 10 months ago

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

A threadbare merkin

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

Best 5G reception on the block

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

When you hear radio playing at night and you wake up and see this.

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Or Dr. Seuss.

[–] gwen@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago
