14) Pupa Jake (And Bug World Molting Trivia) Thanks to the mutations from both the mutagenic weapons and Myriaxanthus’ primordial magic transforming them, most insects don’t need to worry about desiccation, besides aquatic nymphs and the like of course. #adventuretimeoc#bugworldau#myart

Though, just like brood/grub/egg chambers in the Hive cities, there’s designated areas for molting within the hives to meet the needs of specific insect folk. But despite that, there’s essentially rooms that are very humid to aid in the molting process! Cause while there’s no risk of drying out anymore, molting still possesses the threat of getting stuck on them if their nutritional needs aren’t met- or said bug isn’t in that great of health when a molt arrives. In Hive cities and decently sized towns, there can be helpers (if needed or requested) to help make sure all limbs and pieces of molt get safely off. And also, most molting bugs eat their molts- or offer to distribute it amongst the hive/place they’re currently living at. Unless they live alone that is. For those living alone, they either just deal with it normally, and essentially make a sauna for themselves in a enclosed area of their home with a machine (most are made by the Candy Kingdom) or magic device that increases humidity. In bug world, it is pretty much comforting (and common!) to have those you trust nearby during a molt. Family members do indeed help out during molts, watching over and talking to the one molting, and stepping in when needed to assist! Especially with nymphs, who go through a lot of molts in their life. Liam, while traveling with lil grub Jake, helped him out through his molting though instars and final pupation! Some pupa can speak a little bit when going through the pupation or molting process. As per usual the two are dorks.
As for others... Centipedes got very large thanks to compatibility with the Primordials’ powers, and tend to be essentially buses/trains for traveling between towns and Hives! Basically Centipede railways, and there's specific centipede stations for safe travel, its somewhat of a bumpy ride though. They’re also good at combating smaller Beasts! This one of the designated chambers and helpers that assist in removing molts.
Specific pupation molts have very specific requirements sometimes though. Especially with the various beetles living in Hives, some tend to require massive pupation chambers, like with Goliath Beetles. Hive cities can be massive because of this, they take nurturing their young very seriously! On the other hand, for more arboreal insects, they tend to just hang out on their preferred place to molt! Though molting is still nerve wracking for them, and here- Leaf at her Inn tended to psych herself up before each molt she had to do. She didn’t need to worry about it anymore after her final molt much to her relief. And that's the gist of it with Pupation and Molts in Bug World!
