Life in the Undergrowth as intended by God

I just saw this part of "Life in the Undergrowth" again and I wrote a thing.

 

Here is a little piece from "Life in the Undergrowth", with everyone's favourite, creepy bug-man, David Attenborough.

 

Summary: The Blue Butterfly lays it's eggs on a leaf, not far above ground level. The caterpillar hatches and feeds on the leaf for a few weeks. Afterwards, it tumbles down to the ground and hopefully it finds a colony of ants. The caterpillar secretes a pheromone that makes the ants think it's an ant-larvae. As a result, the ants carry the caterpillar to their nursery and feed it until it's ready to cocoon into a butterfly. What a lovely trick, nature is so beautiful!

 

Enter, the Ichneumon Wasp. This son of a git has crazy insect superpowers and it knows what those silly butterflies are up to! It can track the blue butterfly to an ant's nest and is able to tell which one's an ant-larvae and which one's a blue butterfly caterpillar. She invades the colony and the ants try to fight her off. But it's OK, she can also secrete pheromones, SUPER DUPER PHEROMONES THAT MAKE THE ANTS FIGHT EACH OTHER THAT IS! Undisturbed, the wasp finds the blue butterfly caterpillar and does waspy things, she lays an egg inside of the caterpillar's juicy body. She repeats this process on other caterpillars if available. Afterwards, the Wasp heads home for a well deserved rest after screwing over hundreds of other insects.

 

A short while later, the caterpillars for a chrysalis. When they come out of their cocoon, some will be blue butterflies, others will be eaten alive from the inside out and have a wasp crawl out of their chrysalis.

God creates the Blue Butterfly.

God: "Alright, this butterfly can trick ants with a funny smell, that way the ants take good care of her babies. Cool, huh?"

Angel: "Well, yes. That's kind of nice."

 

God creates the Ichneumon Wasp.

God: And this wasp is the only insect in the Universe that knows the difference between a blue butterfly caterpillar and an ant-larvae and it uses this ability to lay her eggs inside blue butterfly caterpillars. Once the caterpillars form their cocoon, the egg hatches and the wasp-baby eats it's host alive!"

Angel: "What the fuck?"

God: "Oh, and the ants can't protect the caterpillar because the wasp also has a hidden ability. It makes the ants fight each other."

Angel: "Oh, come on! Then what's the point of creating a butterfly that leaves it's caterpillars with ants in the first place?"

God: "SILENCE!"
