RockarioBig news folks:
I'm wasting my afternoon looking through the Encyclopedia Brittanica's list of insects to figure out my bug-sona

Love when a bug basically goes all in on one large feature. Introducing the Treehopper, who wanted to be a thorn when it grew up and is doing a great job
Oh, to be a whirlygig (diving) beetle, floating by surface tension and just zooming around in circles on the water all day.
Also they can scube dive.
Also, diving beetle larvae are called water tigers
I'm watching this show called MONSTER BUG WARS and they keep dubbing a non-specific herbivore dinosaur/large mammal roar when they show the rhinocerous beetle. I love it
TFW you're trying to find out what a Stag beetle eats, then you find out they basically don't.
They're the kind of bug that just gets real fat as a larva and survives on fat stores and fruit juice. #BugFacts
TIL: Elytra (you know, from Minecraft) is the name for the hardened fore-wings that you see on some species of bug and beetle. The part that you think of as their "shell" that gets deployed so they can fly with their hindwings.

Trying to decide if I'm some sort of lady bug, or a normal-ass ground beetle chilling under a rock somewhere
We've got these three neat ladybugs: Orange Spotted, Two-Spotted, Twenty Spotted
...Or any of the 40,000 species of Ground Beetle
Oh no, I was thinking some kind of chunky beetle.
But @DialMforMara 's Suggestion of a stick bug because I'm tall, thin, and like to not be seen is *really* good.
The snag of picking a stick/leaf insect for my bug-sona:
Now I have to pick my favourite plant that I want to look like.
Then again, I will basically end up with both a bug *and* a plant character.
Wait wait:
"may have the appearance of being covered by lichens, mold, bird feces, or moss." [Quote from http://tolweb.org/Euphasmida]
What if I *also* roll in a myconid or lichen-sona? So versatile!
Cybertruck Isekai@rockario okay so now that it's on my mind I had to double check if that one manga had a stick-bug themed assassin and the answer is yes but also somehow being a stick bug means she could turn invisible???

@fluxom_alt I would prefer camoflage of "I'm always in the scene, but all you see is a quiet piece of furniture or something in the corner of the room"
@rockario yeah right??? thatd be way cooler
@rockario @DialMforMara hey nicole after thinking about it all day I think I've finally come up with the perfect bug choice for you
@fluxom_alt @DialMforMara *wiggling along* hell yeah, you've sold me on it
