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.

== I don't think Venonat is a 'gnat' == | |||
“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, usually nocturnal, bipedal creatures of the grassland thought to have magical powers who are also somewhat shy and withdrawn from humans.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] that swarm as opposed to being solitary 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. Oh, and gnomes have only been lawn ornaments the last half century. <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) | |||
== What is it? == | |||
If it does not resemble a gnat in any way, shape, or form, then what the heaven is it? | |||

== Naming == | |||
In the naming section, it states that the Japanese name refers "to it's appearance and ability", but this could not be true. Abilities didn't exist when Venonat was created, so that should definitely be removed... SpearBeedrill 03:50, 19 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
