Tsumuri (ツムリ) is the main character in Poison Bugs. He is a humanoid earwig with a sadistic personality.
Physical Description
Tsumuri has straight black shoulder-length hair with two curling antennae and red eyes. He wears a black suit with a violet dress shirt underneath and what seems to be black gloves. He also has six arms with two buttons on each arm and a long black tail ending in sharp-looking pincers.
However, in recent drawings, Tsumuri was seen with the same clothing yet had longer antennae, a pair of white fly wings, and missing two sets of his arms and tail.
He was also seen in similar clothing, changes being a purple tinted inner hair, a black miniskirt, black nails, black long footwear, the lack of a tail, and two pairs of arms.
Personality
Tsumuri has been described as "a kind bug with many friends," [1] though this might have been an ironic statement. He has also been shown to display sadistic traits, such as enjoying torturing Odea. One illustration also shows him wearing feminine clothing, although it is unknown whether or not this is a tendency of his.
His favorite food is aphids, a small type of insect. [2]
