As long as it isn’t a softlock for the player, right?

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

Yeah! Who cares if the players see a demonic screaming alien at the end of the game, at least it doesn’t softlock you!

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

It’d be far worse if not only did it softlock, but also hardlock…

To get back to the topic of actual insects… Scorpion Flies are crazy looking!

There are also assasin bugs. Truly a menacing name that is…

And Assassin/Kissing Bugs carry Chaga’s Disease! O_o

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I guess they assasin by “kissing”…

[AnthropocenianAge (AnthropocenianAge Arthropleura wants to give you a hug!)]

Kissing bugs literally bite people on the lips… Yeah, I am not sure why they do that…

Probably as that’s a weak point in human defense…

Just found out Mantids have 5 eyes

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Though the two most notable ones remain the most useful ones I presume, as others are far less complex…

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

Plus the other ones are barely even visible!

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Doesn’t mean they’re completely of no use though.

Mesmer my old praying mantis

How long did it live?

[lady_deaths_head]

A full normal life span, but under my care he lived 3 days. When I found him he was already an adult and had already stopped eating. I never saw him eat actually. He flew once the day I found him but from then he became very lethargic until he could hardly move anymore

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Huh, I guess they were already close to their deathbed when you found them then.

[lady_deaths_head]

Yes, mantids don’t live long past adulthood

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Like a month at most?

[lady_deaths_head]

Few months to a year, females can live for longer (girl power for the mantids)
