Is putting bits of dead tree around a living tree really any creepier than what many humans do? We (most of us) use hunks of dead animal flesh on a daily basis. It isn’t the same species of flesh, but I doubt you custom match your mulch to the tree being mulched.
Basically all parts of animals can and will be used. From rare or semi-rare products like ambergris (in perfume), silk and pearls, to things as ubiquitous as tallow or leather (check your shoes): the list of applications for parts of dead animals is long. And that’s indeed aside of the fact that many humans consume meat, bones, offal, lard, eggs and more on a daily basis. Many, many, many humans.

Fricker, if you are getting upset over antenna breadth, your priorities are severely warped. Adam is free to draw his bugs however the frick he wants, and change over the years is to be expected. The thinness of Bug’s antennae is no more upsetting a change than the thinness of Garfield’s face, or the paddedness of Hobbes’ forepaws. If you will not raise potests against Watterson for changing Hobbes’ design, then you have no business raising protests against Huber for changing Bug’s design.
You’ve gotta be kidding. The absence of antennae has been established as equating to human baldness; antennae becoming skinny must be reflective of hair thinning.
Can’t recall if we’ve seen him before, but that is one great Stephen King Bug.
Completely agree!

You’re just like the birdies
They’re as hungry as you
When they get the munchies
They sure like you too!

What do use dead animal flesh for? Even assuming you meant animal meat, what do we use that for besides food? And on a daily basis?

Well, some makeups contain fish scales. Mostly shiny lipsticks.
So not only do some people use animal parts, but they use them in mating displays.
On one hand, yes, on the other…
I don’t think that I, a Chinese, would be any less ok with handling big, meaty blocks of Frenchmen mixed with slices of Londoner.
I just realized that Bug’s antennae have gotten so skinny they barely look like bugs. This makes me sad. 🙁

Sheesh.
