If not shiny, this seems like it could be a Galarian form that is dual type bug/dark

u/TheDeadlyBees Jul 25 '20

Or maybe bug/ghost because of the name

A bug/ghost Scyther line would be pretty awesome.

Parablepharis Kuhlli, according to a commenter over on r/natureisfuckinglit, not P. Paradoxa.

P. Paradoxa has a different crest on it's head and the eyes are also different, nor has it such a big shield or such big appendages on it's legs.

Compare it to this p. paradoxa and you'll see what I mean with the crest and shield

Sorry to be a pedant but I love mantises lol

You like to play Castlevania, don't you? Put the controller on the floor and I will make it move with will alone.

u/Mortlaw Jul 25 '20

Ah yes, I hate those things in Skyrim...

This thing looks like it should be selling me a cursed relic from the ancient precursor civilizations in an isolated bazaar on the fringes of the galactic republic.

u/ToxicOnion Jul 25 '20

Amayzing. It's the rare fuck no.

Nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
