Haha no worries, I think I tried throwing the horizontal bug at the bean sprout thingy, but it did not latch on. I tried picking up the vertical bugs in the cave but that did not work after I tried it a lot of times. Maybe next time add a "/" in the text balloon and show both orientation of bugs to make it super clear for people like me.
This is an issue I actually enjoyed, multiple ways to solve a puzzle is always fun. Maybe you can use this to your advantage 😇
