    Small correction on my part: the queens of some hymenoptera species, like ants and wasps, actually tear off their own wings as they settle in to start a colony, resigning themselves to never fly again. It's still true that no insects can fly as an immature/nymph/larva and then cannot upon entering adulthood, but nonetheless it is an interesting case of an insect losing the ability to fly.
    Overall though, the main point is that insects only get wings once, and it's at the end of their development, after they've already finished growing.

      Your plethora of points have not only made me think of insects and the like in a different way, but also imaging flying versions of every enemy in Hollow Knight. And one final thought, why can't the Hive Knight fly?

      Tbh, females being larger/more aggressive is generally more common not just in bugs, but in most non land vertibrates
      Anglersish males are 20 times smaller
      Blanket octopus males ate the size of walnuts while females are 2 m long
      Black widows and mantis females often eat their mates

    Minor correction: Cordyceps don’t actually take over the minds of their hosts. That would be somewhat merciful in comparison to the reality.
    It actually puppets the muscles of insects directly, leaving the brain largely intact and even cognizant of its current state. Hosts basically become prisoners in bodies they can no longer control.

    I've always had the headcanon that Bretta belongs to one of the beetle species who can fly. That would explain why and how you initially find her in a cave you can't climb up to without the Mantis Claw. It's also funny because large beetles are famous for being clumsy fliers that constantly crash into stuff, and that fits Bretta very well.

    One thing that needs to be kept in mind is that many of the bugs in Hallownest wear masks - For the denizens of the city of tears especially, wearing masks was a sign that they were "better" than any outsiders, especially the mantises, who don't wear them. The spiders in Deepnest also wear masks, but for them they function more like armor than a sign of social status.

    I’m studying entomology in college right now, and your video is very well researched! As for the young mantises, they could be based on mantidflies.

    Nosk as an Ant Mimic Spider makes a lot of sense. Especially since ant mimics are Jumping Spiders that hunt by ambushing their prey from above. They don't use the mimicry to fool prey, though- it's actually to deter predators, since you don't mess with an ant unless you're prepared to mess with the entire anthill.

    I've always thought of Leg Eater and Divine as being part termite and part mantis. The termite part from general body structure and the implications given by Leggy that he wants to become a king and also that his eyesight is poor, and the mantis part from the shape of their forelimbs and the fact that Divine eats Leggy supposedly after they mate, which is a characteristic of mantises.

    Some insect corrections/observations, from a wannabe entomologist.
    -ALL arthropods shed their exoskeleton as they grow. All of them. Not just a few species.
    -16:09 those are mealworms, a type pf grub. Not maggots
    -Damselflies fulfill the same role as dragonflies as predators, but their prey is smaller.
    -The tiktik is probably more likely based on a scale bug
    -I don't think blood worms become anything other than blood worms. They are not arthropods.

    Something about the Pale King, actually. A Wyrm isn't a type of worm, but instead a large, limbless dragon or sea serpent, so the Pale King's Wyrm form could either be a dragon, or a snake, the latter being most likely. (I got the snake part from sea serpent, which a serpent is a kind of large snake, which would perfectly fit the size of the Pale Wyrm compared to the rest of the bugs of Hallownest.)

    • @richhhhh123

      The hole you enter the cast-off shell through is most likely the Wyrm's mouth, which a giant hole with teeth doesn't really sound like a reptilian skull. Also, wyrms were probably named that by Team Cherry because it sounds like the creature they would be based on (worms) and also to sound cool, not because they wanted their wyrms to be based on traditional reptilian fiction wyrms.

    I believe Nosk is based off of Mimi, a villain in Super Paper Mario character. She changes to a spider in kind of the same way, twisting her head upside down while slowly turning to a spider. She can also shapeshift too. Also, small detail, Mimi climbs onto the ceiling, dropping rubees, just like how Nosk drops infection stuff when he jumps onto the ceiling. Just thought I would share that.

    I don't know if I'm right, but one of the enemies in Royal Waterways, the Pilflip, resembles the extinct genus Hallucigenia from the Cambrian period (it's not an insect, though).
    I thought it was amazing that scientists were actually confused about the animal's back spikes, thinking they were legs. The game illustrated this confusion well, making the Pilflip able to walk on both sides. Ingenious detail only Paleontology enthusiasts noticed =)

  • @iamlordapollo

    I hope you see this moss bag because it's the best idea I've ever had about hollow Knight. We've seen so many different vessels. It would be super cool if the head design of the player character was randomly generated from a pool of all the different designs that appear in the game. Then every player can identify with their own version of the knight looking slightly different. And it would give steel soul even more gravitas. Every save file would reroll the design so the file getting deleted would be even more crushing because even if you start over that design is gone forever.
