Sometimes we mention northern moths in our fics and we think "wait... have we actually talked about those yet?"
And then we don't talk about them because it's probably Fine and people will find out eventually anyways.
#we speak#writing#the tl;dr of that whole Headcanon is that the north tends to reproduce Really Jacked Up Bugs#bc its in a climate that is too cold to allow year-round activity on baseline bugs while being largely deadland#which thus necessitates a large amount of adaptation from its inhabitants#only made worse by the deadlands increasing mutation rate and introducing significant stressors in the form of deadlanders (creatures)#kabbu is real weird for a beetle and northern bugs in general tend to be Fucking Weird bc theyre adapting for a climate that bugs#really just dont do well in#and the extinction or near-extinction of pretty much anything bigger than a garter snake means that the ecosystem in general is real wonky#northern moths in their newly-emerged or adolescent forms will hunt and kill beetles given the opportunity#and they tend to get very very big if they make it to adulthood#...compared to other bugs we mean in the ecosystem we're familiar with they arent super big
