Ah, well, domesticated adult silk moths starve to death. I don't know if wild silk moths (the species that the domesticated version is from - is still out there) also die of starvation.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Become adult and just start dying from starvation? Damn. That is hardcore.
I'm sorry, ita, that's rough to have your dreamworld fuck with you like that.

All sorts of reasons to have adolescent angst right there.

Right? How amazing the adolescent poetry of the domestic silkworm must be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do they know they're going to die? Maybe their poetry is all about the things they'll do, the places they'll see, what's this uncomfortable constricting sensation?

Possibly even more amazing, to an audience that knows what's coming.

I've woken up from dreams so upsetting I had to take a day to recover (the memory of the one where Hubby was buried in the front yard still has the power to freak me out)

It's not at all unusual in the insect kingdom for the adults to be All About Teh Sex... and nothing more. Mayflies, for instance.

Earless dragons and mouth less moths, they fight crime?
I am confused why my alarm did not go off. Woke up at 9am. My phone had turned itself off, I think-- I thought maybe I hadn't plugged it in right and it ran out of battery, but no, it is at 99%. WTF, phone??

Yeah, the domesticated silk moth cannot have sex w/o human intervention because the males don't fly and the whole silk moth technique is for the females to wait for the males to approach them.
(There are domestic/wild hybrids - basically the wild dudes fly to the domestic females and because the domestic males don't fly there aren't any hybrids that are domestic male/wild female crosses.)
