Why so many insects?
It’s because we are all tiny insects to dem Elder Dragons!
The Carapace is not from insects, but Devourers….devourers in GW1 dropped carapaces, that takes care of your new armor. As for the weapons, how many spiders, flys, mosquitoes, etc. have you killed? Plenty of insects in game already.
Fun fact, the new Pact weapons are made in the design of their flagship, The Glroy of Tyria.
@Zaklex: carapaces are the shells of insects and arachnids (eight-limbed insect-like invertebrates). Devourers are arachnids.
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

You’re right Konig, I wasn’t thinking, forgot they’re similar to scorpions(arachnida)(I’m blaming it all on disruptive sleep pattern).
Take this opportunity to become a Kamen rider.
Actually, arthropods were associated with the Maguuma back in GW1, being filled with scarabs, spiders, and devourers. Of the regions currently explorable, the Maguuma was probably the most bug-intensive in GW1. So there’s the connection.
People don’t hate Scarlet like Game of Thrones fans hate Joffrey.
They hate her the way Star Wars fans hate Jar Jar Binks.
While I agree the Glory of Tyria similiarity (something I clearly have overlooked), it is still appeaerent in the other designs.
While this accomulation can be just coincidal, I hope we get some kind of reason for it.
While we are at it. The Glory of Tyria also had this insect like design. Did we ever get a reason for it?
I know it is often used in SF stories and usually are solar collectors of some sort, if not shielding.
However why does the Ship have it and now, in extension, the Pact.
Is it pure artistic design, or is there a better reason for it?
The old Pact design fused the races (more or less) and we had this blueish design, techno thorny vines and charr/asura craftmanship.
How do the insect wings fit in? A design not used by any of these races. (except as motives for mesmers and aristrocats)
