	0	0-0	Cave ???	Bug Meat
	Behaviour:	They will come in (small) groups and attack on sight, although not in a group intelligent way. If you manage it wisely, you can trigger them one by one. (And you should!) If they take too much damage, they will quickly run away from you and pupate, to turn into #Moths. During pupation, they turn blue and negate any damage dealt to them.
	Strategies:	Pull them one by one, moving close enough to aggro one but not many others. Use a weapon with as little knockback as possible, since you don't want to throw them into the rest of the group or give them the chance to run away. Kill them quickly before they can run away.
