Extremely tired 30-something. Please no kiddos and I'd rather not deal with folks who do under/age and/or i/ncest, thanks. sfw art: #waterart nsfw art: #impart Read my webcomic slothxlove.the-comic.org
![Spinnerette: Your tuuurn ♥ The big celebrity debut!!!
Amber: Aw shush!! (hehe)
Spinnerette: Recording... ...Now!
Amber: Hello! I'm Amber, a velvet ant!
Amber: Really more of a 'wingless wasp', (the males have wings) but ants are sorta wasps too... so I guess it doesn't matter?
Amber: We don't live in hives though. MOST wasps are solitary, bet'cha didn't know that!
[A chart shows a simple phylogenetic tree shows the evolutionary relationships between velvet ants, ants, bees, and other wasps. the base of the tree says "It's 'wasps' all the way down"]
Amber: We're "velvet" because we're sooo fluffy and cute and pretty~
Amber: But like a beautiful rose... look out! We have thorns! Well... stingers. (this time just for the females)
Amber: The stinger's mostly for laying eggs.
Spinnerette: You're some kind of parasite, right?
Amber: PARASITOID. We lay our eggs underground, on top of other bugs' larva. Then our baby eats the other baby.
Spinnerette: [Thinking] My face was too scary but this is alright??](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j3b6guo6utjxdniqthziaz6q/bafkreicnodkt5qfidijok6duuifcp4k6rymmzehp7d55kzzwtywyevh5vq)
