does the fact that it's mechanical really mean that they can't develop resistance? why couldn't they just develop a thicker exoskeleton (for example)?

- chongli 9y agoThe thicker exoskeleton would require more energy and protein to produce, increasing the nutritional requirements for survival. Anything that requires substantially more energy better come with a big payoff. I'm not sure that the ability to wander around a house includes such a payoff.
