Don't release the "tall bug" in the cage. Save your simple keys for something else.
Maybe there's an eventual payoff besides "he's gay" but I haven't seen it yet.

I never saw the point of the stupid bug game
It's a metroidvania that balances difficulty of not being a walking sim, but also not being I Wanna Be The Guy, and charges a reasonable amount for that experience. It's not so deep, nor so complex, as to need to wonder for such a length that "never" is a needed word.
For that matter, between the two games, aside from the map vendor couple, I can't think of a single heterosexual relationship. The bugs must reproduce through artificial wombs or something.
Dung Defender had a tragic romance with Isma. And The Pale King is the father of every player character with multiple ladies.
Also, Britta's fangirling over you and Zote.
Fair enough. I didn't pay that much attention to the lore to get the Dung Defender or Pale King connections. I thought that the PC from the first game was some sort of magical creation from "void" and had no real-world connections.
Still, we're at 50:50 gay:hetero bug relationships.

didnt GLAAD say 20% of characters in shows/movies/games are some kinda LGBT++++++, but they sitll want to pump up the numbers?
AFAIK there is no other use for them, at least in Act 1. The one you buy gets you into worm hell, and you can go around the other door.
You can just not use it of course, but there isn't something else that I've found.
Guess I never found the other way in to the foundry area; the only way I found from the other side was by breaking a one-way-breakable wall from inside the foundry.
There's another door near the top of the Citadel that needs a key that I haven't found yet.
Can you set it free then squash it?
WHERE DID THE KEYS GO WHEN YOU USED THEM, OP?
WHERE DID THE KEYS GO?!!
