Tian Xia Piao Huo
You were really stupid in this case mc. This is the dark age, you can't remain so naive after what you've been through. Too bad you're mostly averse to using your mind when a lot of thinking is involved. I know your mind is limited in insect form but even previously, you didn't want to spend some time to figure out stuff. You also need to always consider the worst case scenario in whatever form you are in. Even if you cannot make complete plans, at least by expecting the worst, your mind will look for openings.
you seem to mix the ability to change anything and stupid together. He always planned for the worst, however, he didn't have the ability to improve the situation. the decision he made was forced by the situation. take the negotiations with human part, he was doing it, so he could buy time. he stopped moving because he was surrounded, not because he had hope in humanity. this doesn't make him stupid.
