This is like the fifth or sixth time I've watched Starship, but I never noticed that the bug at the start who wanted to be Nourishment suddenly has a green headcap and wingshell bits when they were red before- she swapped with the blue bug of the same build so that he doesn't look like the same bug that plays the mammal wrangler and the Over Queen's spokesperson.
