That prompts other questions: are the other world Earth-analogues? If so, what are their night skies and stars like? Somebody will need to do some basic star mapping, in preparation for long-distance navigation.

Quite possibly, but it depends on their life cycle. The
Lac insects are bizarre, and seem to produce the resin as part of their feeding on tree sap.
