The best way to understand, I think, is to take the time to watch them for yourself. They are surprisingly intricate creatures...they aren't as intelligent, but they can do things you wouldn't expect without seeing it for yourself. They live, breed, and fight to survive the same as anyone else.
They don't. Insects cannot speak in my world. To tell you the truth, I am not sure how much they do understand...but they're still important to me anyway.
[And even if they're not sentient and serve as a food source above all else for most carnivores, that won't detract from their importance to Legosi.]
It is more that they make for a good...stand in, when you want to be alone.

They listen...? Do they talk also?
