Reply to comment by Hello-There-GKenobi in TIL no one has found a larva of the titan beetle, one of the largest beetles in the world. by Gecko99

Horseshoe crabs aren’t usually killed in the process I thought? They drain what they can and release

And then it dies shortly after. Very few actually survive after being released

Yeah. It’s more like my point is that the villagers just kill them off cause there’s no profit for them…

EDIT: apparently they are folded, not cut up in this picture. Maybe I should read articles that I post.

Wellllllll……..

Based on that picture of how cut up they are……

Apparently they aren't cut up, their back half is bent to their belly.

All available to read in the threat you posted but who checks anything on here anyways...

Welp, guilty. That image sure is crazy then. I sure hope that isn’t extremely painful and damaging I guess?

I have no clue but if you look at the top picture the tail is a seperate segment of the body so I assume it's not an unnatural positition that damages the crab
