Hey.. I always wondered-
Since bugs like Fireflies have a lifespan of 61 days and some bugs even shorter or longer-
Do Bug World No Mercy characters have a twice expectancy lifespan, or is it like Warrior Cats in that these are semi-fantasy and "shut up do not think too hard about it?" Kind of stuff?
Is there year equivalents to the bugs like how Moons = Months (and how Months is derived from Moons).
How about suns? A full day cycle is 1 sun and a full month is 1 moon? Sorry if this dumb!
I am down for either. I am just wondering, like caterpillars and stuff. After going into a chrysalis, a lot of bugs won't see them, or half of them will die before a butterfly or moth emerges. It's kind of funny, but I'm just wondering your general idea on that!
Curiousity happened because I was making a firefly OC for Bug World No Mercy to post on my blog, and I saw the lifespan and went, "Wait a minute..."
So I actually had that question in mind when I fully started to get more into writing for Bug World No Mercy. I going to go and extend the ages of the bugs purely just so we don't have a different, like, butterfly character every moment because the previous one died. I find a lot of interest in that lifespan term though, definitely considering that for sure
Right now I'm rough drafting bug ages but I have a list of the shortest lived bugs to the longest lived bugs
rough idea of the shortest to longest lifespans in the story:
Mosquitoes
Flies
Worker Wasps
Worker Ants
Worker Bees
Fireflies
Cockroaches
Wasp Queen
Dragonflies
Slugs
Pillbugs
Butterflies
Beetles
Bee Queen
Moths
Ant Queen
Earthworms
Cicadas
Hammerhead Worms (Technically immortal)
Unsure lifespan placement:
spiders
