So what humans have done for millenia in the form of furs, leather and bone?

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah but these guys have exoskeletons so they are cooler. Sorry, I don't make the rules

Hunting giant insects back in the day would be terrifying, but exoskeleton armor would be bad ass.

Yes but they are insects so it's pretty cool

Just imagine if I told you that the cookbug cooks it's prey by throwing it into fire. You would find it cool despite also doing it.

It's still pretty rare though.

Bone maybe, but leather and first have practical reasons related to temperature. Any camo benefits are incidental.
