Aphids "Un-Alived"

[Moons_Star]

Okay since starting game play from the beginning. I have had a hard time finding Living Aphids. Then when I do find them they do the normal up a grass blade, run, etc. Which is great. They seem perfectly normal.

Then.....

You are running along and go over a hill and all you find is " Un - Alived " Aphids. Like a Lot of them. At one point near the Oak Lab I picked up 14. With no apparent reason for them to have become non living. This is happening all over the map. No matter where you go, if there are supposed to be Aphids there you just find them laying on the ground. Making a Pet Aphid is Really hard when they are all No longer living.

Any Ideas as to Why this is happening? Do they have some Auto End of Life built into them? OR what is going on with the Un Living Aphids everywhere you look?

According to the patch notes, creatures are now more likely to interact with the environment and among each other. Maybe you've got some ladybug or other predator on a killing spree?

Strangely, I have not seen anything fighting against each other. Except for an Orb weaver and a Bombardia beetle. Course, I was running through them and triggered the fight cause the bombardia hit the orb weaver with acid. Other than that, that is the only fights between bugs i have seen. I Have noticed tho that the bugs are not staying where they normally spawn lately. bombardia near the pond and juice box, Ants in the Oak tree with the wolf spiders, Mosquitoes in the hedge, And Bees Inside the under shed and Termite mounds.
