Creating Insects in Spore
Spore is a game that is built around creating your own content and sharing it with others. Whilst there are some aspects of the game that I wish had more depth I still have fun making creatures in the editor (and later populating worlds with them).
Today I decided to try and recreate Rhogogaster viridis, a sawfly (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) which you can see in a photograph from an earlier post.
I began with a basic body shape by altering the initial randomly generated one and adding some eyes.

I then altered the colour a little to add some black before attaching some legs, mouthparts and antennae.

The final body part to add were the wings which completes the Spore sawfly!

Whilst it’s not quite a perfect likeness I think it’s pretty close.
Expect to see more Spore insects.
