Insects!

Description
Adds nasty/cute insects to the game.

Giant spiders - Arthropods with Eight Legs, Eight eyes, large Abdomen and Large Fangs.

-They are wild (almost as Wargs), pretty filthy.
-They're eat almost everything.
-Spiders "grow" spiderwool on their backs, which can be sheared.
-They lay eggs not often, but in numbers(needed to be fertilized).
-Due to large size - brain also makes larger, they can be Trained like Dog.
-Giants Spiders means more Spider Meat, if you are into eating Insect Meat.
-Despite their large size they often too weak when facing another predator, which makes them desirable dinner.
-They act as real spiders, but larger one.
-Also can be used as Pack Insect.

Giant Woodlouses - Herbi/Dendrovorous insect, loves damp areas.

-Filthy insects that spawns like a rabbits (maybe even more than rabbits)
-Eating trees is good for them
-No defense, like a super easy to beat (they can bite but... nah)
-Cannot be used like pack animal (i mean, c'mon, i'ts woodlouse for rimworld sake)
-They can leave chitin when butchered

Mosquito - Just as it sounds, it's a bad news.

-On aggression answers more agression
-It stings and then suck you in pieces
-Beware
-Squishable
-(Biotech) Milkable(only females) for Hemogen pack

Cockroach - Omnivore fast replicated dirty insect

-Spawn on map in large numbers
-Has equal chance to spawn in any biome
-Fast and Lot replication

Mantis - Most giant insect of all

-Very large (like Thrumbo)
-Very Deadly
-Predator
-Beware

i don't mind at all

hey, author. i made a personal patch for the issues i complained earlier. i even did a little C++ to copy Thrumbo's spawn event for the Mantises. if you want, i can help you implement this functionality into your mod, if you dont mind

Fix things here and there, give mantises combat rating high enough(i think) to give generator second thoughts to spawn them on map, now(if not working earlier) spiderwool apparel can be cremated

the mantises are so unbalanced... if theyre the size of thrumbos but are predatory, wouldnt it be more sensible to make them spawn like thrumbo? its always worrying if theyre spawned on starting map... their spawn should be an event like thrumbo instead. also, spiderwool clothes wont be recognized in the cremator if you have the bill to destroy clothes. i had different tainted clothes of different materials, but only spiderwool get left behind. anyway, thanks for adding more bugs in the game!

Should make a Mantis Claw like a Thrumbo Horn that can maybe be turned into cool weapon? Insect weapons and armors yes

Would it be possible to give the spiders a toxic bite if you have Biotech installed?
