Hi! You mentioned in your Vibrava tags that you didn't understand the Trapinch > Vibrava evo and I wanted to let you know that it's because they're based on the lacewing lifecycle. Larval lacewings are antlions (which are known for making sand traps) before they pupate and become lacewings.

i did see a comment about this on one of the posts, but this was my excuse to actually look them up! i can definitely see the resemblance of the lacewing to vibrava—though the antlion is still a little bit off from trapinch, but that might just be trapinch's overstylization with its huge mouth. i'll take it

makes me wonder where flygon comes from. whether it's just a pokémon thing or if it's based off another bug…
