Masquerain (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Masquerain represents the adult flying stage of a {{wp|Gerridae|water strider}}, though it seems to share more characteristics with other insects such as {{wp|moth}}s—with {{wp|Eyespot (mimicry)|eyespots}} to frighten would-be predators—as well as {{wp|Odonata|dragonflies and damselflies}}, which share a similar flight pattern and habitat. Its head is shaped like a raindrop, making it similar to some {{wp|Fulgoridae|lanternflies}}. Maquerain could have also been based on the {{wp|Kalligrammatidae}}, ancient {{wp|Neuroptera|lacewings}} (damselfly-like insects) that resembled {{wp|Butterfly|butterflies}} and moths.
