== Possible Origins of Burmy's (and Wormadam's) Cloaks? ==

While it's clear that Burmy is inspired by a bagworm larva, and that its plant cloak is inspired by the twigs bagworm larva cover themselves with, I think its other forms potentially draw inspiration from other insect larva. I believe the Sandy Cloak is possibly inspired by caddisfly larva, which cover their bodies with materials such as sand and pebbles, while the Trash Cloak is possibly inspired by lacewing larva, which are also known as junk bugs because they cover themselves with random debris including the leftovers of their meals, i.e. trash ([https://entomologytoday.org/2020/10/30/insect-costume-designers-dressed-impress-halloween/ source]). However, I wanted to check and see if this is appropriate to add to the Origins section rather than just go ahead and do it. At the very least I think it should be mentioned that Burmy's cloaks possibly stem from the fact that bagworm larva cover themselves with plant material such as twigs. --[[User:SpinyShell|SpinyShell]] ([[User talk:SpinyShell|talk]]) 02:03, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
