Transcript
Panel 1 (a blue dragonfly in flight):
Caption: Dragonflies have four wings instead of the usual two. This is a defense mechanism.
Panel 2 (a predatory bird diving toward the dragonfly):
Caption: When a predator sees four wings flying in close proximity, it presumes it's looking at a mated pair.
Panel 3 (a yellow/orange flame-like bird hesitating, mid-air):
Predator bird (thinking): This would make eating them super awkward. Oh jeez, now? Sorry, I was just hungry, not a creep!
Panel 4 (a young girl talking to her mother):
Girl: How do you know so much about biology, mom?
Mom: Honestly, you can just spend most of it.

A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a blue dragonfly with a caption explaining dragonflies have four wings instead of the usual two as a defense mechanism. Panel 2: a predatory bird dives toward the dragonfly; the caption says that when a predator sees four wings flying close together, it assumes it is looking at a mated pair. Panel 3: a flame-colored bird hesitates awkwardly mid-air, thinking that eating them would now be super awkward and apologizing that it was just hungry, not a creep. Panel 4: a young girl asks her mother how she knows so much about biology, and the mom gives an offhand reply. Votey: a single panel of a curly-haired person declaring that this is proof of intelligent design and that God is a weird dude.
