I saw a couple days ago a few skinny bees but after one week, they got fat like a snail. I don´t know how, maybe they are from another continent or space. Maybe is something to scientists study it and more.
How do you vote?
No insects never grow fat. Insects can build fat reserves but they never look overweight. Their outermost layer, the exoskeleton, is a hard, protective shell that doesn't grow like our skin does when we get bigger. Adult insects don't shed this layer like when they were babies, so the fat just builds up underneath and puts pressure on the insides more and more. Some insects, to us, might look overweight, like that plump caterpillar that's eating all those new plants in your garden. It looks squishy like fat, feels spongy like fat, but it is simply the nutrient-rich storage the caterpillar larvae need to turn into a pretty butterfly during metamorphosis. It's chemically very different than your average human tummy after too many slices of pie.
While humans and insects share the same struggles after overindulging in luscious foods, we humans carry it differently thanks to our elastic-like skin as opposed to insects.

Insects can store energy reserves in the form of fat, but it's different from the way humans and other animals do. Insects have:

- Fat bodies, Specialized organs that store energy-rich lipids, which can be used for development, reproduction, or survival during times of scarcity.
- Lipid storage, Insects can accumulate lipids in their bodies, which can be broken down to provide energy when needed.
Some insects, like bees or butterflies, may appear "fat" or plump when they've stored energy reserves for migration, hibernation, or reproduction. However, their body structure and physiology are quite different from those of humans or other animals.

Yah an insect can get fat too but not to the extent of being fat like an elephant you can't expect a spider to fatten like a cat

Insects too can get fat. But the degree of fatness can not be compared with other creatures . It's like judging the ability of a fish to climb a tree. You can not expect an insect to get fat to a level of an animal.
