"The mating habits of the Omnimaw are rife with contradiction. On the one hand, no other species employs such a wide variety of visual displays and courtship dances in the attraction of a mate. On the other hand, the Omnimaw is entirely blind, and it responds to anything it cannot identify as its own species by devouring it.
As such, the Omnimaw takes its love life entirely on faith. It cannot ever be certain that it has paired with its own species, but it contents itself with happy uncertainty, because the alternative is a perpetual cycle of devouring and lonesomeness."

I can't really do pictures, but I can write a little, and it felt appropriate.
Also, this was my favorite book as a child: After Man

Beautiful writing Kumada. I was so infatuated with this excerpt I actually sought out the source text not realizing it was fictional.
