(Artist here too) I think human forms are the best for creating monsters, bugs are very alien, but human bodies are so familiar to us that it creates a much more eerie and uncomfortable feeling to recognize something as human-ish but seeing there is something horrificly wrong about it. This is why Slenderman's design and Freddy Krueger's long arms scene work so great. Watch the movie "Before I Wake" and see the scene where a guy hugs his deceased wife as she is remembered by their son. Gives me goosebumps just thinking of it xD Ted Cruz would scare me much much more than any animalistic monster regardless tho. Or Mark Zuckerberg 👀 Bill Gates.... I'll have trouble sleeping tonight...

[@AntLab]

thanks! I gotta figure out how to film more mid-air sequences. I think lift off and mid-air might give different portrayals of these insects, like the assassin bug. The methodical and steady liftoff might be misleading to how it actually gets around once its up there!

@@AntLab maybe you'll need multiple cameras pointed at the most likely trajectory... perhaps a custom-made enclosure to encourage the bugs to fly on a set trajectory with a landing zone at the end (possibly with some tasty treat). just spitballing tho, no idea if this is the best way - just that it's probably gonna be extremely difficult to follow a small insect with a slow-mo camera in macro focus.

It seems to me there is more going on to create lift for the weight of the body to aspect ratio of the wings. Maybe the energy comes from frequency and vibration neutralizing the affect of air density on the weight or so called gravity and the wings are used more like ailerons to control direction especially if you consider a strong side wind.maybe the aeather does exist.

They would have needed a skeleton then to sustain the body and possibly wider/thicker legs proportionally to the main body. Bugs and spiders have a much softer skeleton structure (don't know in english ,we call it "brusk" in Norway) . How gravity works is that you need a proportionally tougher bone and muscle mass the bigger/heavier you are. So the insect type of body would probably not work much. That is why all of them are small
