Similar to a bee keeper covered in bees, this spirit entity is comprised nearly entirely of wriggling, vibrating insect bodies.. This being, when swarmed by its minions, coalesces into a human-esque form and becomes the keeper and the doorway to the Insect world. The mere site of this grotesque seething creature sends chills down the spines of average human beings.. but fear not.. the keeper of the Insect world holds a powerful truth.. an insite into the beauty, diversity and sheer quantity of insects on planet earth.
The Insect keeper knows that its minions are the soil makers and medicine makers and workers of our planet. They work as decomposers for organic matter, turning it into vital nutrients for plants and trees. They pollinate our plant based foods. And in turn, they die and in death provide food for plants, animals and humans alike. The health of an ecosystem can be gauged on the health of its insect population and the Insect Keeper protects this smallest and most vital of energy sources from harm.
