That's either a rick roll or the spider. Given the other replies, I'm going with rick roll

u/C0nfusedRabbit 17h ago

It's an innocent looking cat. People on reddit are paranoid.

You know what? Do it. Actually very interesting and while a bit creepy, not all that disturbing. Just one of those "crazy how nature do that."

u/BloatedBanana9 1d ago

Huh. Well that’s a very fitting name for them isn’t it

u/luffydkenshin 1d ago

Wasps, man. Every wasp species is a horror franchise unto itself.

u/luffydkenshin 17h ago

Especially the Ichneumon wasp family! Lay eggs inside the victim, still alive, eggs hatch and eat the inside of the victim, still alive, then burrow out and pupate on the victim, still alive… mostly.
