That doesn’t make sense, caterpillars don’t mate. So why have a display like this? Or does this scare off predators somehow?

Put a stack of decaying skin on your head and see how appetizing you look to predators

Yeah, fair. Maybe it’s just like that lizard that squirts blood out of its eyes and predators just go “EESH WTF”
