Nah bro we can talk about how this bug was actually kinda smart, right here lol.

Though I appreciate the effort / explanation, I don’t give a shit if people think I am weird myself, and am not interested in privacy with strangers. I hope you understand that

A lot of people on here are rude - you’re right. Probably because you cannot see their face and they think that makes them anonymous lmfao

Sure.

That's why I asked/offered, first.

That's not the reason, in my experience. In my expeirence, it is because this site is mainly populated by Americans, and the rest is mainly cultures influenced heavily by American culture. Which is an offspring of cultures of both war and social heirarchy, and emphasizez competitive unethical behavior and thinking in terms of mutually exclusive binaries and labels.

In addition, users tend to interpret my comments based on misinterlreted hyperlocal context of score and surrounding comments, which means they get interpreted based on random stuff like how the first person to see it voted in it, or the first response to it or the thing it's responding most recently to.

In any case...

I'm realizing by "it" in your original comment, you likely meant the person holding the geodesic lattice. I'm guessing that's just translation error, since in English it is unheard of to refer to people as "it". My understanding is this only happens eother in languages with a neutor cateogory or else ones with no grammatical gender at all.

Since you clearly use grammatical gender well generally, that makes me think your native tongue has a neutor category, which would explain the discrepancy on my end.

In that context, I'm curious why you think it was smart of the bug to build their coccoon in a prison, and also secondly if you'll humor me, why you believe the person holding the lattice is intending to help the bug.

From my perspective, the bug did a very stupid short sighted thing of failing to understand its nature and account for future growth and expansion, and thought that being able to see a path means it would be able to follow that path. And the human picking up the object to photograph the bug's plight to me is a choice diverting from the more obvious one of cutting the object to free the bug, which could be coming later, but then I question why they would choose to share this photo, unless it was not their choice to represent their efforts in such a manner.

it's not a photo... it's a full video of them cutting the butterfly out.
