15) Bug World Trivia (Grubs!) More Bug World trivia! This time with Liam’s dealings with babysitting in the Hives they’ve lived at/visited! #adventuretimeoc#scarab#bugworldau#myart#originalcharacters#insectcharacter
![Liam’s Adventures of Babysitting In Bug World
Prior to becoming a Courier, Liam used to be one of the designated “babysitters” or essentially larvae tenders of their old Hive.
They worked in this “job” for a good ten years before getting assigned to a “Scout” for five years. And then finally assigned to Courier when they turned thirty five.

[Ladybug larvae are very likely to cannibalize when there isn’t that much food readily available. Liam had to deal with preventing a few clutches from eating each other during a dry spell that damaged their Hive’s food storage.]
“Guys, guys! Stop trying to eat each other! I’ll get you some aphids to much on!”
“Jake! Jaaaake! Get the aphid leftovers from my pack!” ‘Quick!’
“I’m getting em!”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:iklv6ioaehrto6pnacvptnt6/bafkreidbonbqtfqfmhsutwxw3ewhlzbzybtu6ksn2beboe6eqfjpfa4naa@jpeg)
![[Every Hive city has designated areas for various offspring. When Finn was introduced to the areas by Liam, the sight of some of the other “Kids” really startled him.]
“Hey now, don’t worry. They’re just friendly, curious, babies- just like you!”
“Squeak”
“Ah!”
-
“Hey Scarab! Could you do me a favor real quick?”
“Yes. What do you need?”
“Can you hold this lil guy for a bit? Me and Jake need to help prepare his section of the grub room.”
“…”
“Scarab?”
'Ahhmm!’ “Right! Sure. I’ll hold him.”
“Thanks!”
[Even as a Courier, Liam and their brothers still occasionally take some “jobs” for caring for grubs at any Hive or town they visit. If they have the time for it.]
[Scarab gets flustered when he sees them holding a grub for the first time.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:iklv6ioaehrto6pnacvptnt6/bafkreibqzgomknzvu2aoihi72hcpic3vck367lrwry5pcmjz4f5xzjvswq@jpeg)
![“Here you go, enjoy Kiddo!”
“Don’t worry, you two are next!”
[More often than not, Liam was sent to help feed the Warrior Wasp larvae. They’re all born from Vera’s royal sister, Gladius, who settled down in the Hive after requested by their original Queen to help guard it. In a round about way, they’re all Liam, Jake, and Finn’s cousins.]
[Somewhat related, the claw gloves they occasionally wear, originated from their deceased friend/cousin, Vale. The dark blue pieces of Liam’s armor is what members of B.A.R.C were able to recover from what little remained of her. Vale had requested that her exoskeleton be given to Liam to help protect them, should she ever die before them. The same with Liam’s other good friend, also deceased from the same attack, the Comet Darner, Chiron.]
[They both died from distracting the same Beast that devoured Liam’s human home. Vale was the first to go after charging it head on to give them time to run away. Chiron soon after, when luring the Beast away from Liam’s hiding spot.]
[On a lighter note, Liam helped Chiron’s partner, Juni, take care of their nymphs after the whole ordeal. They take some solace that their friend, in a way, lives on through them. They also named the three nymphs, Janus, Helen, and Io. By the time Liam’s Journey starts, they’re all fully, and healthy, grown dragonflies.
“Hello little ones, I’m glad to see you all doing so well.”
[In Bug World, places where aquatic young are taken care of are called kiddie pools.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:iklv6ioaehrto6pnacvptnt6/bafkreibopisb5d5g6kz7yxvevqb4inzy365yhboqhr2q42dyrrgb3q5ofq@jpeg)
