Mossgrub
If not for the spikes, I would think it an appealing bug.
Mossgrubs are enemies in Hollow Knight: Silksong. They are fur covered crawler Mossmirs that have a series of sharp spikes along their backs.[1]
Behaviour and Tactics
Mossgrubs wander aimlessly or stay still on floors or walls, dealing 
on contact. If provoked while still, they begin to wander.
Act 3
Black-threaded Mossgrubs have their health doubled. They can gain any of the standard void attacks.
Needolin Dialogue
- Protect us, mother!
- Call for danger, hide away...
- Young must eat, grow or die...
- Sleep and change, have no fear...
Location
Mossgrubs are found primarily in Moss Grotto, but can also be seen in the western portion of Weavenest Atla and the Moss Grotto section of the Memorium. They can be summoned by Moss Mother in the Ruined Chapel and western portion of Weavenest Atla.
