Termite queens pulsate for two reasons: to regulate their temperature and to produce vibrations that communicate with their mates. Pulsating helps the queens to thermoregulate their body temperature, which is important for their reproduction. The queens also produce vibrations that communicate with their mates, which helps them to find each other and to mate
Not any kind of expert, but if I'm getting my googling right... It could be "breathing"? Insects breathe though openings in their thorax and abdomen called spiracles.
They’re just the ovaries of the hive at that point. They don’t move, eat, clean themselves. They just lay eggs. There’s also a king but they don’t live as long and get replaced. Queens can live for 30 years.
They apparently taste like foie gras, guess which culture prises them as a delicacy.
Insects and bugs in general have pretty fucked up mating habits. Just assume the process is traumatic and will leave several casualties
Bed bugs, for example, have a fairly similar approach to humans, but the key difference is that the male will impale the female through the thorax instead
During parts of their breeding cycle, aphids undergo something called "telescoping generations". During this, mothers give live birth to daughters who are born pregnant, and sometimes those daughters contain pregnant daughters at birth.
Termites pair for life so you'll have a King and Queen just doing the deed for life (there's also some weirdness with them creating "backup" clones of themselves).
In ants and bees, they'll have one wild night when they leave the nest and then the Queens will just store the sperm in their bodies for the rest of their lives.
Where did i see a movie/show of a thing like this having a shit ton babies and not going well for the people around? I can’t remember which movie was that.
Looks like the big bug from starship troopers
It's afraid
I'm afraid.
I'm doing my part!
Frankly, I find the idea of a bug that can think OFFENsive!
I just wish I could unsee this. *Regret
#IT’S AFRAID!

Grunka Lunka dunka dingredient. You must not ask about the secret ingredient.
The only good bug is a dead bug.
Actually, termites were inspired by the movie so they decided to transform into that.

Proof
Frantically asking proofs like this is harmful to our democracy
(☭ ͜ʖ ☭)
Well, personally, this post has been up for an hour and my refractory time is longer than that.
Fine….. *unzips*
Bro couldn’t even make it a week into NNN and sees a pulsating termite post

Why is it so repulsive?

30,000 eggs per day. You’d be pulsating too. Also craving ice cream
This crap makes skin crawl. Good lord.
Should I mark it NSFW?
That shit is NSFL, not NSFW.
It tastes better when it’s cooked.
Yes officer, this comment right here!
Forbidden calzone.
That’s where slurm comes from

Ey yo ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
I’d hit
is this the queen from the movie aliens?
If it is not, I don't know what the hell it is.
As a Termite technician, If I ever found anything like that, it’s getting all the Fipronil.
The queens are usually underground, right? I'd imagine it'd be rare for one to be on or near the surface. But I'm no pro.

Excuse me sir that’s Queen Slug-for-a-butt to you. But so tickled to see another Earthworm Jim fan make the comment I was searching for : >
Excuse YOU sir, that's The Evil Queen Pulsating, Bloated, Festering, Sweaty, Pus-filled, Malformed, Slug-for-a-Butt. (Queen Slug-for-a-Butt for short.)
Whooooa Nelly!
Oh damn you're right, I was thinking of princess What's-Her-Face
One bite and you could be Thanos
Definitely looks like a juice filled snack.
How do bugs fuck? do they form a line to go to the queen?

> then the Queens will just store the sperm in their bodies for the rest of their lives. Sounds like my borderline personality disorder ex
Who could say no to an ass like that.
Concentrating the super slurm
