Interesting insect, never heard of it before!
Although I am slightly sorry as I can’t stop giggling at the moment since I realized how silly all the references to feet sound in this description. 🤭
What I don’t understand is the text in the speech bubble… Is that some kind of insider joke? Seems not to be a valid information…

I read it as:

Katy -> Kathleen Dids -> Accomplishment

It’s a stretch.

I see, so probably based on the resemblance to “Kathy Deeds”… Wow, that is not even decent dad humour level…

You are correct, but it’s simpler than that.

Katy is short for Kathleen, and “did” is kinda-sorta-not-really short for accomplshment.

Katy -> Kathleen
Did -> Accomplishment

Katy is also kinda-sorta-not-really short for Kathleen. It’s short for Katherine.

Why not Katherine?
