Are you afraid of Husks?

Description

For a long time I've had the idea to explore how an insect society would see corpses and undead,  when a creature with an exoskeleton dies and decomposes, its innards rot out and leave its hollow, bleached shell instead of the traditional skeleton of a human. So I sketched up my interpretation of an insect undead "skeleton", called "husks". For the sake of consistency with my normal bug characters, their soft fleshy lips have rotted away leaving a hollow maw, in leiu of a true insect's hard mandibles that would remain.

They are popular monsters in bug horror films, and fantasy games. Husks shamble slowly, their light-weight, hollow skeletons rattling eerily as they sway in the wind, and constantly hunger for the soft, juicy innards of the living. So, are you afraid of husks?

The real question is who would win a Husk or a Zombie?
