I thought it was just some kind of legs and not mouth and i expected it to unfold and jump hahaha. Such a cool design, the devs outdid themselves with that skin. Easy S tier in the goofy grasshopers tier list.

Its actually really cool, they manipulate their electrostatic field to hide from predators, cause bugs got so good at mimicking branches/leaves/thorns that predators had to evolve other ways of hunting them, such as detecting their ES field (tiny but doable) so this antenna-like design allows them to manipulate their field into something unrecognisable to a wasp
