Get Down to Bugtown

Partly inspired by French artist Grandville and Dr Bey's Bedside bug book and some other retro novelty art. Insect folk often gather or form small shanty towns on the fringes of human lands to trade. Sometimes they are on the borders with faerieland. Bug town is a interesting place to visit or recruit interesting henchmen or trade. Play a track of crickets or cicadas while in town.
