Life history
Males reach about half the size of females. The male larvae start early spinning a white cocoon. The pupa is made within and is black. The female pupa is yellow with grey stripes at the front and bright brown at the end. Males emerge in about two weeks, at the same time as the females who only need five days to develop.
gollark: Okay, v1.1 is out, with support for live as an alias for evil.
gollark: I could probably add that to the category system, so you might define your system as, for example, insecure against <0.8-level annoying evil but entirely secure against stuff which deletes files, etc.
gollark: Ah, good idea.
gollark: I'll look into it for v2.
gollark: What sort of evilness criteria should the next version use? I'd quite like receivers to be able to filter by type of evilness.
