decisions to decisions are made and not bought

Bugs didn't have borders. Ant colonies might carry pheromones with them in order to determine what to do, but they didn't actively go out and mark the edges of their territory. Then prey would know where they were, and then the territory would be deemed invalid. Equally so, cicadas did not hold territories. They lived too short a lifespan above the ground to do such a thing. In the dirt, during their seventeen year long development period, doing such a thing would probably equal a death sentence. It was not a valid tactic. Still, the shout and the demand for attention warranted his approaching. Happy chattering noises sounded from Astiar as his body lumbered over, accompanied by the ever noisy greeting of his wings meeting the ears of those he approached. "GREETING SMALL NO FOOD HIVE," Astiar shrieked, more chittering and chattering sounding from him. Was he exactly sure what the congregation was about? Not in the slightest. He was more than pleased to partake nonetheless.

APPEARANCE.
✧ dragon (ref.) | health: 100% | cicada
— a nine foot seven inches tall cicada themed dragon. He has four antennae growing on his head from orange growths on his head. Two grow in front of his twisted horns, and two from behind. Dewclaws point backwards from the body-facing side of all six feet. He has mandibles on either side of his mouth that come from his upper jaw. The top of his upper jaw lays a hardened segment of scales, dotted with yellow dots. These extend as deep green freckles onto the face. A long stinger rests at the end of his lanky, segmented tail. His body has the segmented build of an insect, consisting of a deep orange head, brown body and abdomen, and black spine. His underbelly is a pale navy, with splotches of yellow showing the separation of the sections. His wings are tinted blue, but are translucent. The membrane for them is a bright, vibrant orange. Each wing has one claw at it's second bone, pointing down the rest of the wing's length from the body. His front paws have five fingers, while the rest of his limbs have only three toes. His red eyes are near unblinking, and are built like that of an insect. A series of jagged spikes rise from his black back, and run down his head to his neck.
