That's... odd. why do I see so many of your fans, myself included, suggesting that a guy who keeps bugs would live in a house made like a bee hive? I mean, I suggested it as well, but I can't for the life of me figure out where the mental image came from.

Because bees are well-known for their hives, while most other insects don’t actually build homes. (Although I like the idea of an underground anthill/terminte mound idea, too.  Or maybe a spider web motif…. hmm.)

What *I* am wondering is why most of the people are assuming this character is male. XD
