fuckyeaharthropods:

I found a chrysalis just yesterday and decided to take it home so I could get some pictures of the butterfly when it hatches.

This morning I noticed movement, luckily I got it outside before the dozens and dozens of tiny wasps escaped in to my house.

Parasites are perhaps my favorite creatures on the face of planet Earth. Additionally, they have helped countless naturalists cast-off the shackles of faith and Christianity:

“I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars.” -Charles Darwin
