Do any insects have mouths though. Like, they have mandibles, proboscis and the like, but do they have mouths? What constitutes a mouth? Is it the hole formed first in protostomes? Isn't this a tautology? Are mouths an ontological parasite? Does anyone have more weed?

If a moth flies into my house with a human sized mouth hanging from its face, I will literally die.

Alternative interpretations of "Cryptonaturalist":

Dude who's naked around scam coins

Dude who's trying to hide that he's a scientist

Dude who's trying to hide that he prefers to be naked

My pollinating, proboscis-prone friends are offended.
