Mothflies prefer dust baths since it's quick and efficient way to cool off and stay clean. They can bathe in water but it's too risky since the water would make their wings too wet to fly. Not to mention water droplets could easily give up their position if they were to hide.

A lot of what they learn from awakened bugs is by simply observing. They'll watch travelers throughout the Forsaken Lands. The smartest clusters will send a few mothflies inside the Termite Kingdom to observe the inhabitants and bring back information. Due to not understanding any Bugnish, some things they understand, like a king and their subjects, and other things they don't, like shopping. But all and all, the end goal usually is to lure weary travelers in and eat them.

It is through these observations that the False Monarch and its "subjects" attempted to act as if they were a Kingdom with civilians in the settlement that Elizant I abandoned.

The smartest clusters are usually the ones to take up the mantle of "Monarch" or some sort of leader. As the leader it is their job to ensure the entire collective (the other clustsers that follow them) survive, eat, and flee if necessary.

Mothflies are omnivores. They eat squash and pumpkins. They'll eat any bug they can take down for meat. The larger the cluster the easier it is to capture prey.

The biggest mystery to researchers is how mothflies aquire their masks and robes. Mothflies use pieces of their environment to create their masks and robes. They'll take discarded fabrics from their prey or from exploring and mend it together with pieces of squash vines. The masks are made from broken wood and dried pumpkin pieces. The colors come from crushed plants and berries.

Clusters can be made up of families, lone mothflies banding together, or both. Mothflies are always eager to have more additions to their groups. If a cluster gets too large, they may break into multiple groups. Sometimes those groups become a team of false citizens.

Baby mothflies start off as little grubs. It is important that the grubs remain somewhere hidden and safe to be taken care off. Preferably a cave. If the parents are a part of a cluster, the mothflies will all take turns taking care of the grubs by cleaning and feeding them while the others hunt. If there are only just the parents then one hunts and the other takes care of the grubs.
