Creature Features and Abilities:

All creatures have chance for angler gel or sparkpowder when harvesting, poop spoils into angler gel, light gets brighter when mounted or set to follow.

All tamable bugs will use their vanilla taming foods but spider eggs work better except on GlowBugs, Resource Bugs, Trilobites and Spiders so they have their own kibbles. (Trilobite uses GlowBug Kibble)

Collector Spider - Slightly higher stats than vanilla spiders. Collects and stores wild eggs in egg sac when wild. Removing eggs from wild egg sac triggers chance to "hatch", releasing 6-18 aggressive wild babies. Collects and stores tamed eggs in inventory when tamed. Jumps. Can mate and lay eggs. Chance for female to eat male during and when finished mating. Press "c" when riding to enable "cloaking".

Glow Centipede - Slightly higher stats than vanilla arthro. Can mate and lay eggs.

Glow Coel - Glows

Glow Beetle - Slightly higher stats than vanilla beetle. Does same as vanilla with addition of "auto pickup". Set to wander to enable auto pickup. Shoots poop when carried if has poop in inventory.

Glow Bee - Giant glowing bee. Can be carried on shoulder.

Glow Bee Queen - Giant glowing queen bee. Gives you a glow bee hive.

Glow Bug - Mini flying ant that is not naturally aggressive. Tamable. Can be carried on shoulder.

Glow Leech and Diseased - Glows. Diseased will always be red, normal will be green/blueish.

Glow Mantis - Slightly higher stats than vanilla mantis. Regular jump in addition to attack/jump. Can mate and lay eggs. Press "c" when riding to enable "cloaking".

Firefly - Glows

Glow Moth - Slightly higher stats than vanilla. Secondary attack with switchable projectile attack.

Resource Bugs - Gives random resources depending on current map

Glow Scorpion - Slightly higher stats than vanilla scorpion. Two separate attacks with switchable projectile. Forward jump. Can mate and lay eggs.

Fire Ant - Glowing ant that shoots fireballs. Can not be tamed.

Glow Trilobite - Can be tamed with Glowbug Kibble. Turns Silica Pearls into Black Pearls over time. 10 Silica Pearls = 1 Black pearl.

Press "C" to toggle projectile on Moth and Scorpion, "cloaking" on Spider and Mantis.

Scorpions and beetles main color "shifts" over time. You can kind of see it in the 3 scorpion pics above. All others have solid colors.

Eating spider eggs or glow honey gives you 60 seconds of brighter vision. Each type does stack with itself but not with the other. IE: 3 eggs or 3 honey = 180 seconds but 1 egg + 2 honey will only be 120 seconds.

Honey "should" work like normal honey as fish bait and dino attractant. Have not fully tested this but it should work.
