The Venonat-Butterfree similarities triva was deleted because it's speculation. But isn't it at least note-worthy that the two share many visual characteristics?

:I agree, since they share strikingly similar eyes, body color, antennas, "mouth" and "hands". Regardless of being originally evolution-related or not, these similarities seems to be kinda notable for me.

“Venonat is most likely based on a {{wp|gnome}}, a mythical creature from around the European renaissance or similar creature such as an {{wp|elf}}, which are short, bipedal creatures of the grassland thought to have magical powers who are also somewhat shy and withdrawn from humans. In contrast to the "-nat" at the end of its name, it does not seem physically reminiscent of a {{wp|gnat}} in any way, as such animals are only millimeters long in length, have wings and don't eat other insects.” | |||
That's what I ''was'' gonna put in the origin section before I thought "screw it, they'll just revert it anyway, even though saying it's based on one of these [http://www.tuin-thijs.com/images/vliegen_wespen/mug-4-Sciaridae-30-3-09.jpg tiny, fur-less, WINGED things] doesn't make any sense at all". By the way, I haven't found any evidence of a gnat that eats insects, like Veno"gnat" does. <span style="color:#91A3B0">—</span>[[User:Venomoth|<span style="color:black; font-size: 13pt">'''''V'''e<small>№</small>moth''</span>]][[User talk:Venomoth| ♦]] 18:55, 4 February 2011 (UTC) | |||
