Insect0701 and Insect0704

Insect0701 and Insect0704As named in internal texture data. are small, beetle-like creatures in Metroid: Samus Returns.
==Description==
Insect0701's in-game model has green and purple stripes along its back; in the more detailed model render by Odín Fernández, its stripes instead alternate between two shades of green. It has four legs with white tips, a pair of white mandibles, and a single yellow eye. Insect0704 has a large head crest on its purple carapace, four blue eyes, and larger legs and mandibles than Insect0701.
They are seen in the background of Area 1 rooms such as the vertical chamber, crawling alongside the cliff walls. The creatures cannot harm Samus or be harmed by her. In the following room is a scripted sequence internally known as "insectfight01". Insect0704 lies in wait for Insect0701, briefly popping out of the wall until its prey hovers over it. Once it does, Insect0704 devours the creature before hiding in the wall again.
These are one of several background, non-hostile "Atrezzo Creatures" included in Samus Returns. They did not exist in Metroid II: Return of Samus, of which Samus Returns is a reimagining.
