>>45115180But Venomoth has direct design connections to Caterpie, thought obviously not as blatant as Venonat/Butterfree.
6 limbs, yellow marking on their backs(which have been removed from venomoth on later revisions), an head crest instead of antennae, googly black eyes, the pre artwork sprite
>>45114601 of venomoth doesnt even have pincer mandibles same as caterpie and it has the signature wing protrusion of the swallowtail butterfly.
Not to mention venomoth design looks much more fit to continue the caterpie's line theme of making and shooting silk while butterfree continues venonat's theme of radar eyes and poisonous fur.
